1 sol over a 40 breeder will give you too much of a dark area on bothe sides , you really are gonna need 2 modules for max performance and growth ! at the new price it should be easier to pick up that second module for alot of us! but i have seen ai modules on almost every size tank made and i have set up mine with help from the a.i. c2 crew those guys know everything about the lights they make.

Over a red sea max 130d should I hang it front to back long way or left to right long way??

 

[howze01]

I plan on putting 1 SOL over my new 50 breeder. There won't be any SPS, clams, nothing like that just pretty much zoas with some Acans and NPS in there. We'll see how it goes!

 

[harlequinreefer]

I can't wait until the new ones come out, I've held back long enough to go from T5 to LED!

 

[Brando457]

Howze when are you doing that? I'd love to know the spread you get from it.

I emailed AI asking them today their recommendation.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

From left to right fellas , follow the tanks width and set light accordingly

 

[Brando457]

So like ----- not | lol

Just for comparison, I have two on a 200DD and I get good coverage. just not close to the glass.

It's going to be a few weeks. Going to try and get it in the group buy over on you-know-where. Hopefully it will be included in it. If not I will go over to TB next weekend and pick one up. I'm hoping to have the tank up and ready when I get the light. The way I see it, they have a Nano over a 40b and getting good softy growth with it. The 50 is the same footprint just a little deeper so I'm hoping it will be enough for my zoos and a few other LPS.

How many

Reef4life I am wondering if you ever got an answer for how many you would need for your system. I am starting the plumbing on my 180 upgrade as well as selling my old car tomorrow so might be the time to get some new LEDs soon.

not sure of how wide your tanks are, but i have seen a 200 gal oceanic using 2 modules , and it could of taken a third for a brighter look, however , i would say 3 modules with the wider optic lenses would do a great job on a 180 its all pending how you situate the lights.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

and yes brando --------- is the way to go lol

 

[pecan2phat]

I run 4 modules in this position = = = = for a standard 180g.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

whatever works guys , thats the cool part you can always add more modules and use one controller, so its all on prefference and what your trying to grow in your tank

 

[Brando457]

I emailed AI, they told me they have the nano on a 50g no problem growing softies and Lps.

I asked if it would be good on a rsm -130d which is 24 x 18 x 20 or close to it. Justin at AI said it would be sufficient to keep acans and softies but recommended if I wanted to keep them on the sand to get the sol blue.

I'll be ordering a sol blue once the group buy starts.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

yup justin is a cool dude , hes helped me out in the middle of the night when i had issues with my lighting schedule , justin walsh knows his stuff, and the sol blue rocks man thats what im using , great growth and awesome lighting on the sand bed with just 40 % or less output

 

[Brando457]

Pictures or it didn't happen (yes I'm trying to lowball you on pictures lol)

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

Look at my thread and see for yourself how i set my light up , also ask alex to show you how he set his up ...... And it did happen! Trust me i was there , i was also there to see the water test done on a sol blue module.....
