Anyone Running Ai Sols?

Madreefer · #1 11-22-2011, 02:41 AM

So any sol owners able to tell me how loud the fans are? I have 4 of them and have yet to hear nor see the fans turn on. Maybe I'm not runnin at a high enough intensity for them to get hot. Not hot to the touch either. On another note, my sump is in the basement and never had to plug in heaters with MH at all. I have to plug in now.

Mine are on pretty much all the time if not all the time. Cant hear them at all, but I can sure feel them when I'm by the fixture.

I am in the ai club. Just paid for 3 and waiting impatiently for there arrival. I am trying them on a 300 gallon dd with 3x250 4x80 t5ho in the rear and ais in front and if I like it I will have to purchase 3-6 more. 399 is the going price for them plus 12 percent hst unless you get it from the states. My main concern is to make sure it can grow sps and have them retain good coloration but I guess only time will tell. If not, it will be back to the sauna with the 400w mh lights again.

got an AI Sol over a year ago had to wait for it a while as they said it had to be made as they were backed up with orders.its been a great unit.great coral growth and looks great.controller has been glitchy once in a while usually after a power outage it would have to be re programmed and some times unplugged and plugged back in.i found one time it wouldn't turn on and all settings were good.for some reason when i adjusted the intensity it started working again. outher than that its been great.

Has any other user experience the same problem by chance?

Cant say that I have had any issues at all... and to be honest mine has even been swimming in the tank.

I think its more to do when Im home at my tank, Up to 80% now. But then again I just checked and the fans are running. RB at 8% and B at 5% with no W at the moment. No setting either, just how my module has been.
