AI SOL Super Blue Nano...

[darren24]

Is the Nano version sufficient for a 20x20 tank and 18 deep? Thanks.

 

[skriz]

Not from what I've seen.

 

[mvm]

Nope. Need the full size. I have 2 fulls over my 30x30x24

 

[darren24]

Thanks guys. This will be over a solana so I assume the standard AI SOL will suffice? Thanks.

 

[mvm]

Yes. Change out the optics, crank it up and you'll be good to go. SPS or LPS?

 

[darren24]

90% LPS and 10% SPS.

 

[darren24]

Forgive me I am new to LED's. The controller is sold seperately? So I need to order the unit and controller. Anything else? Thanks.

 

[mvm]

That's all. I control mine with the apex. Check one of the "big" boards. You can probably find a good deal.

If you order new let me know. We're missing a few to get a nice price.

Glad to see you back Darren.

One should be plenty and yes you will need to get the controller. Depending on how you are going to mount it they have a hanging kit and different size rails to hold them.

I have 2 over my new setup and really like them so far. If you want to see what they look like in person let me know.

I will second this ^ I have a Solana 34g and light the tank with the AI Sol Blue with all 70 degree optics. I have the light about 5" off the water line. The light is currently set at 85% across all settings for 6hrs a day. I am seeing my SPS color up and my LPS have adjusted very well. I keep going up 5% each week in intensity. I plan on increasing the light until I get to 100% unless I notice any signs of stress.

the nano should be fine for lps and most sps and softies i ran a sol at 75% with all sps in a solana for a year and it was doing amazing

Thanks for all of the great replies. I think I will go with the standard AI SOL Blue in case I upgrade tanks down the road. It is great to be back. FYI I have a gift card for an online etailer that I will be using.
