saltwatercoral Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Alright... I don’t like to do this but I’m going to anyway... I’m going to post a pic of someone else’s tank. I REPEAT THIS IS NOT MY TANK! This is REEFKEEPER2's tank. This is the one that has 12 SOL BLUES lighting his 427 gallon reef tank! PS: Reefkeeper2, if you don’t want me to leave this pic up let me know and I will take it down. Just thought it would be nice for everyone to see. It’s a bit grainy... I took a still shot from one of your vids. Thanks. Edited November 25, 2011 by saltwatercoral Quote Link to comment
saltwatercoral Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Exactly my thoughts too! I may have to aquascape my rock again(grrrrrrrrrr..) to make a little more shade for LPS but I'm not to worried. Just have to play around and see who is happy where. I'm also thinking I could position the light a little further back since sps will be towards back of tank anyways.. Just a thought. I'm already tracking the shipment -even though there is "no record" of it yet. lol Super excited and can't wait to hang that bad boy up!!! Maybe I'll start a thread on my tank finally too Any news on the delivery date yet! Quote Link to comment

Trainer262 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Which coral look the best under the AI light? I've composed a wish list but not sure what to keep and what to nix.... What's everyone's favorite??? Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Oh that's a tough ones, my PearlBerry has amazing whitish blue tint colors but my plasma is sexy, zoas show the best psychedelic colors imo Quote Link to comment
Ira Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hey Guys. I am seriously considering getting an AI Sol for my 16g, but the one thing hanging me up is how I am going to mount it. My tank is 24 inches long, and from what I can tell, the ceiling mount kit will force me to hang the Sol with its long edge perpendicular to the long edge of my tank rather than parallel to it. Now, I know I can rotate the fixture to make it hang properly, but then it will probally look really dumb. Do any of you guys have a picture of a single Sol unit hanging with the 12" rails above your tank? What are the other options for mounting this fixture above my tank? It is not in a spot where using the shelf supports will work so I would need either a clamp on or a floor stand? Any ideas? Also, what is there any big difference between the Sol Blue and Sol White aside from the color spectrum? I like whiter light on my tanks rather than the blue tint. Will that still be OK for SPS and LPS? Thanks, Ira Quote Link to comment

You can see them by going back top the first page and clicking on there names. You can also skim through some of the other members but this is 2 that stuck out in my mind. Hope this helps! Hope to add you here soon! Quote Link to comment
basser1 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hey gang check out this link I found on RB. It is about a cheap diy skimmer that looks prett awesome in itself. But what caught my eye was the AI on top of the tank and saw how he has his mounted. BTW, check out the foam being made in the skimmer! http://reefbuilders.com/2011/11/26/diy-mam.../#disqus_thread Quote Link to comment

Not sure who makes that LED fixture, Maybe Nano customs/JBJ new LED prototype, but unfortunately not an AI... Pretty sure it is this one: http://reefbuilders.com/2011/10/07/jbj-uni...eef+Builders%29 Edited November 27, 2011 by SynRG Quote Link to comment

Got tired of waiting for it... Got my $$$ back and ordered AI instead. Quote Link to comment
