AI SOL Blue Owners - How do you run yours?

[mrsmithers]

would 1 AI be good for a 24x24x20tall?

How many modules would I need to light a 20x30x20 65 gallon tank?

I have one over a 24x 36x 16 and its not perfect coverage but i do get lighting across the entire tank. I just move the softies more towards the edges..

I am getting a SOL superblue light.


I can't believe that don't give you an estimate % for recreating 12K 14K 20K in the manual.
It's kinda scary not knowing what level you should put it on so you don't fry your corals.

I still plan on buying one soon.. I here there great.

I just replaced my Sunbrite Slimlines with AI's about 2 weeks ago. I have 2 mounted lengthwise about 13" over a 48" x 18" x 18" Solana. Coverage is very even. I wanted to aclimate slowly, so I started at:

W:45 B:30 RB:30

I have the RB come on at 8:00a with a 90 min ramp, then the W and B at 9:30a with another 90m ramp. It reverses starting 7:30p.
I did increase each by 4% after a week and plan to do so until I reach higher intensities.

I have noticed my few acros have colored up a bit.

I have 3 units over my 250 DD tank 60x36x27 and I ramp them all up to 100% and run them about 9-10 hours. No par readings, but coverage is actually pretty good being I have them so high over the tank. I'm going to be adding a 4th unit when I get some money together and get them a little closer to the water.

Impressive. Do you have pictures? I cant ramp mine above 50-70-80 or things fry. I have had them on my system for 6 months now. I have all 70 degree optics and my par is about 400 6" below the waterline.

I have a 60x30x25 that is currently lit with an ATI 10x54 and am thinking of changing over to the the Sol Blues. I would love to see some photos of your display and hear your opinions on your coloration and growth, please.

got a 36x18x20 and running 3 over it at 25%W/45%B. I see a lot of people running 2 over this size tank and I'm clearly not using all the potential of these units!
