Experience with Aquaray or AquaIllumination?

2 aquabeam strips. I really like them.
No light spill..and not bad coverage for 10leds. Contemplating whether to junk my halide and put an Aquabeam tile on.

I liked the power and controllability of the Sol..but I didnt like the 12 inch or higher mount height.

These were also influencing..

I have 1 ai sol light system on my 65 gallon reef and it's amazing I was told I needed 2 but decided to save the other purchase for a later date, I now have the I one Ai centered above the tank @ 10 inches and get a full spread and do not use on full power, led rocks in my opinion

Do you have the Sol white or blue? how long have you had them? How are corals/nems?

Moat of us go for the blues, but some still use whites it a personal preference is all. If you can't upload your pictures go to photobucket.com make an account a use that

Then once youve uploaded a photo use the (img) code and paste it in here. Easy as pie.

I have sol blue it has royal/blue/white
I have a tub anemone and it's super bright as is my few pieces
Of sps and all other corals about 30 in total.
I have been told that LED is extremely bright and to never run full power for long periods of time I have had it since nov 11

Power goes out around my area all the time never had a problem with it not turning back on
