Aqua Illumination Sol Blue

[InfernoST]

Hi All
I got the units installed after many adjustments within the canopy, there is a little more adjusting to be done but I will get to that later. I snapped a few shots of the tank and figured I would post them now and will take more photos later at different settings. I have to say, the colors on what corals I do have really pop with these lights.

Sol Blue Intensity = White 75% Blue 60%

Have to play some more with the lights and the camera. I'll take some more shots in a little while.

I saw in your other post that you bought the rails,does that come with the hanging kit?
Also did you incorporate the rails into your existing canopy you mentioned?
From following the thread on RC I see you've posted on the thread, my question is most people on the thread feel that a gradual increase in light intensity is advised because of the intensity of the AI modules, are you going to be following this advise? what size tank are the modules on?

BTW the tank looks great.

I upgraded the 36" kit to a 60" rail ($20 More) which I modified only 1 of the 2 rails to fit my canopy (pics to follow), it did not come with a hanging kit. I'm going to follow the advice and gradually increase the intensity but only during a 1 week period, I've been battling cyano for a long time and finally got rid of it so I don't have that many corals. I have 3 modules on a 120 60x18x26.
Thanks for the kudos. Stay tuned.

I will, I have to figure out the white balance on the camera because the pics aren't doing the lights any justice, the blue is more intense (Incredible) in person than on the photo.

looks amazing....I am thinking about getting AI blue for my new upgrade. I have been looking around for a while now...do they only make one setup for blue? I am somewhat confused on if the wattages are different like those of Maxspect or if it has adjustable power? Would be put on either a 34 solana or 60 marineland cube. thanks

Thanks Fantom. They make the Sol Blue (More Blue Light) and the Sol White (More White Light) and each module is 75 watts and you can keep adding modules as you need them. As of now the Maxspect G2 doesn't have an intensity adjustment, you can only turn colors on and off and set timers I believe for on and off. The G3 version that is coming out is suppose to have an intensity adjustment. I really like the SOL Blue it makes the colors of your corals really pop.

Wow, those look sweet. I can't get over how clear your water is. Do you run carbon? Dose with vodka? Also, if I wanted to go with a 27" - 30" deep tank, would led's work? I will be keeping mostly lps.

Love the tank man

 

[lunner]

Looking nice.

How high are they above the water?

They are cool lights, they are much bluer than the pictures indicate. My tank is 26" deep and am not running them at 100% yet. I do run GFO & carbon in a reactor + a sulfur denitrifier.

 

[InfernoST]

Thanks guys.

I'm running them about 4" above the water.

2 More pics

Got two more pics, more are on the way. Still fiddling with the camera, getting there.

This one is set for daytime auto White = 50% Blue = 40% (My favorite setting so far)

Moonlight shot from the side of the tank White = 0% Blue = 1%

cant wait to see it stocked up with corals nice aquascaping

 

[Alex]

Infernost, I could help you out with getting correct color on your pics, just drop me a PM.

Mounting of the lights.

A few pics of how I mounted the lights. I have a Beta firmware release for the controller, I have to update it and take some pics at different levels. Sorry for taking a while to get more pics up but I wanted to let the tank adjust to the new lighting before I really start playing around with the settings.
