Check out These Bad Boy LED`s

They are incredible lights. I got to take a peek of the vega at macna. The wireless mode is sweet. And individual module control is amazing. AC&C also carries AI so with the GIRS discount yo can save some cash for picking up something else from them.

 

That link didn't work for me, but +1 on AI lighting. I've had it for over a year, and it's great. Aquacave will also give you a discount if you mention GIRS membership. Of course, you should join if GIRS if you're going to ask for a discount.

 

I've been watching this site for awhile, waiting for their new product. They are also in Ames, so I'm wondering if they are connected

There's a link to Join GIRS on the main site menu...

in a nutshell

nobody buys the white.

everyone buys the sol blue.

super blues are kinda new and I don't know many people with them.

 

You would be surprised.
The white you can still turn on the blue alot.  The white has higher par results in better growth.
So it depends on what they are looking for.

 

I kinda wish most of my fish and coral would STOP growing. I'm somewhat serious.....

But more to the point I think the Sol Whites are generally used more for growth than for vivid colors. For example the SOL Whites may be a good option for the fragger who wants to grow out their frags.

The SOL BLues will give you the most flexibility. They can also really make your corals glow when you crank on the blues.

Again, I am not well schooled on teh super blues.

I know for awhile when I bought my Sol Blues that the Whites were ALWAYS in stock, the Blues, not so much. THat is why I said everyone buys the blues. Plus, I don't know anyone that has Sol Whites personally. I would guess there are 100 people on this board with AI lights......

 

Waiting on mine now.

 

I got 2 of the SOL Blues. I got 1 new thats on the way and 1 used with a controller. This is for a 4ft tank I also ordered a mounting kit from reefkoi that came today as I didnt care for AI tank mount kit and my wife was totally against hanging them from the ceiling.

 

You only need 4 ai units for your tank in my opinion. I have only four on my 125. I also had to get one white and 3 blues to decide the difference my self. I do believe the white would probably be better for growth. I started out at only 37% and have gone up only a couple percent a weekand nearly 50%. Everything is starting to really take off. Birdsnest and slimer really starting to like it. Brain coral gets mad everytime I crank up a little. I will be more than glad to share with youngest what I did. You have a million timers (14) and really only need 3. Keep it simple. I have had a lot of people tell me that the thunderstorm will scare your fish to death, mine don't care.
