AI Sol or Kessil for my 5.5g

[monkdaily]

I am up grading from a par30. So I have the opportunity to get a AI Sol blue from a local reefer with a contoller for a really good price. I wanted to know if I should get it or spend the extra coin on a kessil? It's a sps and lps mixed reef if that helps. Anyone ran a AI Sol on a tank this size or have a link for someone who has?

The Kessils (I'm assuming you're thinking about the A150) are not dimmable, so that'll be a deal breaker for me. I'd go with the AI Sol and controller unless you want to wait for the A160 coming out soon.

I was actually thinking a360we because of its dimmer and use with the controller

Or wait for the AI prime. Or buy a nanobox.

Do you know when the AI prime is releasing. It has a nice price point. That's why the AI Sol is my top contender right now a local reefer is asking 190 with controller. For that reason the nanobox is out even though I would love to have one

Not sure when its coming. Should be soon as they're taking pre orders.

Does anyone know if there is someone else running ai sol on a 5.5g or similar?

The A360WE would be way overkill for a 5.5 gallon. Honestly I'd get the NanoBox or wait for the AI Prime/A160 (both should be released soonish).
