LED Lighting Recommendation

I'm using AI's, and I'm really pleased with them. I had 400 watt MH's before, and while they looked great, they created LOTS of heat and used lots of electricity. My corals have had phenomenal growth with the LED's. I also feed Oyster Feast every day, so that helps too.

 

+1 on the AI.
I run mine on a 29 biocube at only about 50%, since its a AI SOL Blue and not a Nano. But since I started using it, growth, poly extension, and color all have improved about 100%. I've been very happy with the light.
Also the Oyster Feast from Reef Nutrition is also another great product to use too.

 

if you are looking for a light that is a little cheaper i would recommend looking at http://www.evolutionledlight.com/... i have had mine for a few months and my BTA seems to like it. and all of my corals are thriving.
i have 2 EVO 150 over my 75g. but if you can go for a better brand i would, as you know in this hobby "bigger is better"
the EVO's do the trick though.

 

DIY from Rapidled.com. Great products for cheaper if you have the time and skills needed.

 

I just purchased an led fixture from apolloreef. Here is the link. http://apolloreefled.com/shop/solarblast-dimable/ I got the dimmable one and so far, very impressed. Will post some picts/review once I have more time with it.

 

I have AIs and love them, I do custom tanks and set ups on the side and install AIs in 98% of them, have done about 20tanks with AIs and havent heard anything but good things yet.

 

What size tank do you have and how deep?  How long have you had the AI's.  I'm assuming you have SPS?  Thanks for the info/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif

 

I know there's a member here in CR that also has the new Ecotech lights. Has 2 on a 120. They look pretty good too..and according to Ecotech, are supposed to be user upgradable if desired in the future.

I have an Oceanic 58. It's 36x18x18. Mostly sps.

 

Another +1 on Ai's, have 2 mounted 12" above my 75G at 85% and 1 hanging 14" above my frag tank at 90%. Both are doing very well under the lights. I dont think you can go wrong with the controllers you get from AI. Ive seen and heard of the phoenix's but until I see one in person I guess I'm not too fond of the design of it.
