    Wow, sure is quiet around here.
    I picked up a couple AI Sols over the weekend and am really liking them so far. I know I need at least one more on my 180, but they're expensive. Gonna have to wait a bit.
    In the meantime, i'm wondering how people are liking theirs and what their set ups look like (pics, please) and what settings you all are running.
    Here's a pic of mine.

    Here's a pic of how I have mine. I actually have a 4 bulb t5 fixture in between the AIs now.
    I ramp everything up to 100% and blast them full power for like 6 hours, then ramp back down.

    Nice. I like the ay you ahve the cords hidden. That's one of my only beefs with theses lights. It's hard to hide the cabling.

    I just put a 24" t5 fixture over my middle opening to get more light in the middle of my tank. Really wish I could buy another fixture, but must be patient.

    I only spent 1G, and will be paying that off for a bit, but I figured short term pain, long term gain.
