Default Why all the AI's for sale?

Seems like everyone is selling theirs, something new for around the same price I missed that's come out?

Was thinking about a set rather than replacing my MH bulbs when they're due but seeing so many FS lately has me wondering if I should stay away.

They might all be upgrading to the new full spectrum AI Vega.

Are you having good luck with the Sol as a frag tank light? White or Blue? I am considering using one.

I use one over my frag section and I think it's a great light, with good growth and seems bullet proof.
That being said I'm not sure I would love it over my display as its missing the full spectrum.

Haven't got it yet, but since that's the light I run over my display, I'm confident it will give the same results. It gives great color and growth, and sufficient penetration to the lower areas of the tank.
Perhaps not full spectrum, but I prefer a bluer look. Still not convinced that all the schmancy colors of other lights does anything different.
If I were re-purchasing lights, I would buy them again. Great value for the cost, comparable to Radions in my opinion, and great control using my Apex.

edit: I use the Blue model

I have 2 Mitras over my DT that I really like but for my frag tank I was considering the Sol. I'm not too concerned with looks, but more with good growth and a low risk of bleaching.

I think you'll be more than happy with it, although they are bright. Mitras are brighter, so you shouldn't have to manage bleaching too much. Colors will be fine too, and great growth. I'm considering lowering mine to slow growth a bit.

That is exactly what I'm using and the growth difference is minimal I do have my sol closer to the frags to compensate for the intensity difference. I haven't had any issues moving any corals from frag section to DT.

I'm using my profilux to control it which is great because the AI controller is junk.
