125mph Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Any thoughts about the two? Specifically the 23.5" panel from Ecoxotic VS Aqua Illuminations x2 module panels. Link to comment
evilc66 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 AI smokes the Panorama fixtures in every way. It's barely a fair comparison. Link to comment

I sort of like the look for the Ecoxotic Panorama more because there aren't gaps between the lights. The cost is a big difference too. Link to comment
doctaq Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 the ai would probably be more powerful, and penetrate deeper, more control over color. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The AI unit is a rolls-royce. The Panorama is a chevy cavalier. Sometimes all you need is a chevy cavalier. If you're putting it over a LPS and softy tank with maybe some SPS at the top then it'll be fine. If you have a deep tank loaded with SPS then you'll want the AI unit. Actually you'll want the AI unit either way, but you won't necessarily need it. What is your application? Link to comment

Paleoreef103 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 No. Look for MedRed's Solana XL. The Panorama will be underkill for that depth. You will still have to dial the AI down a bit though. Link to comment

To ellaborate on that a little, the Panorama is a Cavalier with a good working engine, but stuck in second. The AI is a Rolls Royce with a blown V8 and a 6-speed. The AI fixtures has so many more features, and so much more power compared to the Panorama. Link to comment
