Flexin5 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 that coral acclimation feature is pretty cool. good idea. that's also sick how you can controll different units independently so if you have sps on one side of the tank and softies on the other you have that controll. that will come in useful on my next tank. now bring out the upgrade kit already!

jball1125 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Anyone on here have their sol over a 12 gallon? What percentage are you running your lights at? I'm trying to figure out if I have too much or too little light. The tank I'm talking about is in my sig. Quote Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 So it appears, ... Vega is not released on time??... No it is... They shipped them out today... Check there fb page Quote Link to comment
Hexadron Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Ya IIRC they said that they will be shipping to distributors by August 31st. Quote Link to comment
darkwhitemagic Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Salty supply said they would have them out to us by sept. 7th guessing its gonna be the same with everyone else Quote Link to comment
blajoie Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Salty supply said they would have them out to us by sept. 7th guessing its gonna be the same with everyone else I need some comparison shots of the blue vs color. I am hoping one of the distributors that gets one in today opens them up and does a nice photo shoot/video! Still not sure why AI chose to never do this... Quote Link to comment
Flexin5 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 So if anyone was wondering (like i was) about the sol -> vega upgrade if it was going to come with a controller, it does not. has to be purchased seperatly but the upgrade to the vega will be done much like the gen 1 sol to curent gen sol, so just the pucks. now to get my hands on a controller....

tennis20 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Do you guys think a nano on a small about 12inch cube would by overkill? Quote Link to comment
malady Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 can you upgrade the nano to vega leds? or just the sol Quote Link to comment
jball1125 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Do you guys think a nano on a small about 12inch cube would by overkill? No My tank measures 14 x 14 x 15 and I have the sol running at about 40%, might add more light when I start to add sps.. Quote Link to comment

Flexin5 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Do you guys think a nano on a small about 12inch cube would by overkill? i don't think you can. talking with AI they said that the upgrade to the sol will pretty much change everything in it; inside and out, it's just not the pucks. they said that the only thing that's going to be different than the actual vega (after you do the upgrade to the sol) will be the heat sink.

mpsti05 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Spoke with reefgeek today and the wireless adapter is not going to be available right away. Quote Link to comment
Flexin5 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Spoke with reefgeek today and the wireless adapter is not going to be available right away. ^yea that's what AI said, but you can still use the controller with the wire, however they did say that the adapter will be out soon and that you can buy it by itself, so i'll pick up a controller now anyways..lol Quote Link to comment

malady Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) ah so the new controller does come with a wire? or will i have to buy seperately Edited September 5, 2012 by malady Quote Link to comment
Flexin5 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 ah so the new controller does come with a wire? or will i have to buy seperately no it comes with the wire. if you want to use it on a sol you need the adapter which isn't out yet.

HiImSean Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm currently running a par38 bulb over my 5.5g tank. i've got my AI Sol Blue over my new tank and I'll be transferring my corals over in a week or so. I was wondering what intensities i should start at? i know the par38 vs the Sol is not a fair comparison, but I have the par38 about 8" above the 5.5g (~10" deep i think) and the Sol is about 12" above my 22"deep tank. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
BusterDB Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Anyone get their Vega? Can't believe I haven't seen any pictures of one hanging above a tank. Found out I won't get mine until next Thursday at the earliest Quote Link to comment
