your money... spend it however you want.

I would go with a light that other people have used and have good or bad comments before i buy a light that no one has used i have sol blues and love them you do what u want but if it was me i wouldnt take that chance

And i have 4 over my 90 i would go with at least 4 for a 120

1 thing is that aquaillumination is a company that is strictly made for our hobby and many years of research and best of all stand behind their product, so if u have a problem which I did 1 time before they resolved it in a few days. With out no problems.

Who exactly would you buy these units from? The company direct? What kind of warranty? Do you have to send them over seas if they break? Is there any info out there from people who have actually used them?

These are all important questions, if you can answer them all and be "happy" with your answers, then I would say go for it. But I would not if it were me.

I would rather spend more on lights that I can talk to people who have them, and a company that is in the field of aquariums, not street lights.

Skene said it, but I would not have said it like he did, it is your money and you can get what you want.

I honestly see this thread as kinda a way to NOT get them, cause if you wanted them you would have just ordered them.

Go with what you believe is the best for you.

But if you want a straight answer, I will give you this "I would not get them for my tank"

Thanks guy for all the input I'm gonna go with the Sol blues I'm gonna start off with two directly over my sps and one each month until i have all four set up so i guess my next question is with my tank size I'm gonna get four but with two at first how would you set them the long way or short most of sps are in the middle of my tank i only have my monit caps in the sides

I heard Reef Central has a lot of information on the lights you are looking to buy. AI sol vs Radion ect. I'm looking into LED too. I'm looking into Kessil A350 for my 90 gal. I bought A150w for my 27 gal tank. Awesome Lights. I can't see spending $900 for one unit. But with that said. People say you need more AI Sol vs Radion. So good luck and I'm going to wait a few months to decide.
