Radion vs. AI Sol

[jorjef]

I'm using two super blue. I can adjust individually the intensity of all three White, royal blue and regular blue which gives quite a wide range visually to choice from.

I have been thinking of going LED over my 16" cube tank.. I'm actually considering one SOL as I think a radion is overkill for that small of a tank.

Looking at Ocean Aquatics webpage, it looks like the SOL comes in two color choices.. The white which is 12-14K and the blue which is 20k.. What are people using? And am I correct that the K color can not be adjusted to suite your eye?
How about intensity? Can that be adjusted?

with the 80 dollar ai controller or third party controller you can adjust intensity of each of the 3 colors to adjust the color

Are you using the Blue?

Shelley, from what I read, the AI comes in the SOL white and super blue. The difference is that each has a different range of color. I believe the other features are all the same.
For me, I would be using my Apex to run them, so whatever that does, is good, I suppose

My concern tho, is on my tank, I figure I've got a rectangular area containing corals about 18" x 60"ish. Are three of either good enough for this area, with some corals being 24" deep.
Some site I read compared the AI to a 400w MH, but AI's site doesn't mention that anywhere I can see.

so far I think I'm leaning towards AI!! I'm not looking into spread as much as i"m looking for depth, At 30" tall I can add more fixtures for spread but that wouldn't help hit the bottom of the tank..

so how many radion would it take to do 96Lx30Hx40D vs how many AI's?????

I guess anothe question is should a person go with all blue's or mix them up 50/50 with the white fixtures??

the fixtures which are called the super blues are actually a mixture of the white royal blue and the standard blues.

And the whites are just all white?

[jorjef]

Eight of either is where I would start. After that it would be personal preference to have more.

from what i understand yes.
here is a link to the site i mentioned earlier. i think it clearly shows the AI system to be the best going.
