Not really the same, but....
i have the blues in my vega at 65% max with a 4 hour ramp. i've seen threads where ppl say 50 tops, and others where users have them up to 80. best response ive seen is start low and add 5% a week until u find somthing that works for u

I ran mine way too high of intensity.
I thought the LEDs looked too dim switching over from MH. I bleached out all of my corals and it took several months to recover. Start out at around 35% and slowly ramp up a max of 5% a week until you find your sweet spot. I ran my AI blues at: RB 100% B 100% W 65% I no longer run the Sols and have Hydra 52 now. My tank is a mixed reef

I run my sols at 48% for all 3 colours, 2 hr ramp up and down with approx 10 hr total. I have a shallow 18" tank, mostly SPS and some LPS and softies on the sand. It does not sound very much but I am regularly trimming my SPS so I think I get decent growth at these levels.

One of my clients has a 90-gallon reef with 2 AI Sols. They are mounted the long way if you know what I mean, and they are about 12" off the water surface. The tank isn't heavily packed with corals, but there are a fair number, all pretty good sized colonies. A few Zoa/Paly types, a few Frog/Hammer/Torch, a couple Bubble Tip anemones, a huge ORA Green Birdnest colony that grows like a weed, a blue and pink Mille colony, a couple clams. The tank looks really good and has nice color on all corals.
White 32% Blue 65% Royal Blue 65% 13 hour total lighting, 2 hour ramp. These settings have been running for about 8 months. Last edited by Myka; 03-07-2015 at 02:59 PM.

 I ran 6 on the 180, 6" from surface, and I would have been happy if I could crank them to 150%
