Brad, that's awesome you got 6 ai blacks!!
Your new name should be darth vader, could I make a suggestion?
I found that after a month of running my sols that alot of stuff browned out, the intensity was alot lower for acclimating but previous to this I had ran diy led and had decent colour but the temperature ofthe light was more 10k because the ratio of cw to RB/b was 1:1 now with the ai it 1:2 so it's pretty obvious that there is less white making the tank abit dim.
Getting back to what I was saying alot of the corals browned, I noticed the reds pinks and yellow suffered abit even purple and blues were browning abit, that is until I added 2 Fiji purple....
Within a week everything colored up and is continuing to color, I was so fascinated I told Rich to add some to his tank.
I truly believe that as the colour blends the only colour missing is the reds. I oftensee green in the sand and that is a mix of the cw/b. You previously mentioned that you may want to add t5 supplementation in the future, if you do try the KZ Fiji, you will be happier with the colour of the corals.
Also if you think about it there is only 24w of white per fixture multiply that by 6 and you got 144w of light that the corals use that is nearly not enough for fast sps growth. I am sure now my 75g sps tank may need another 2 fixtures because 2 fixtures isn't enough light for my sps.
