Aqua Illumination SOL BLUE LED LIGHTING - setup

[falconzrock1]

Hey i have a 48x36x16 shallow rimless tank and was thinking about led lights came across this and I was wondering if 4 modules would be able to cover it. My only concern is the width of my tank. So do you think 4 modules would work? Thanks

[DataGr1ff1n]

@falconzrock1 yes you should be fine - just make sure they are high enough for the coverage you want

I am looking at adding these lights to my tank.  I have a canopy that sits 8.5 inches above the water line. Securing these to the canopy will leave about 6 inches AWL, think that will work out ok?

[DataGr1ff1n]

@kdneo I like about 9" off the water now - some go even higher

First and foremost, you have an kick ass set up. I would like to know if these lights putting out a lot of heat...do you use a cooler during the summer?

[DataGr1ff1n]

@rarityd almost no heat an no cooler

[DataGr1ff1n]

@Anldyxp you can get the stand custom cut to your needs. It is sold sep.

Also if you have questions i would go to reefcentraldotcom. Then check out the fourms > lighting and fliters > there is alot more data there :D Hope that helps.

Sorry i haven't been on for some time. This is the 48" kit. Its 4 units and you do have to pay for the mounting kit if you want it. As a rule of of light i will do my best to say there is no perfect # to tank size. I can say that im extreemly happy with the 4 units for 48". If cost is a major concern you can start with less then norm and add more if needed.

how are your corals doing am planning to get some LED for my 65g but not sure which one to get am between the ones you have probably 3 of those or if not the ecoxotic panorama 36 for the canopy and probably 2 of those with 2 of the panorama modules

[offdutytrips]

Im setting up a 96 inch tank how many units do you recomend?

[funkmaster100]

why didn't you buy the 48in fixture ?

[ianjuarez30]

What kind of light did you use before AI lighting, and how less your electric bills now? Thanks!

[DataGr1ff1n]

@ianjuarez30 i had MH 250x2 and 4x t5 ho 48". Reduced bill by about 70$/ month because no chiller and AC wasn't on full blast in my loft.

[frokenstein]

How many amps does each unit pull? Their site has no details on that.

[DataGr1ff1n]

@frokenstein in the vid i show off a power supply. its 36v by 2a ie 72w

[reefguy710]

how much do they cost

[DataGr1ff1n]

@reefguy710 go to reefgeek.com they have good pricing. support is wonderful as well.

Nice video... Question? Do the lights move once you have them on the stand? It didnt look like you bolted them down to much... Assuming you want to be able to adjust them as you see fit...

[DataGr1ff1n]

@tcobos Yep I wanted them to move, also they have some play no matter what because they slide on.

Hey data griffin, putting a lot of thought into this lighting system because it works with the Digital Aquatics Computer. I looked on AquaIlluminations sight and they say 1 LED unit per foot but what if the tank is 2 foot wide? will 1 unit cover that? also any idea on how they interact with the Digital Aquatics ALC Module? Advanced thanks.

[DataGr1ff1n]

@ChrisPureownage95 well the spread at the water lvl is how they come up with that #. Yo can raise them up to get more spread. In face I would say you will almost have to so you don't bleach everything. I have WAY too much light. lol

[ChrisPureownage95]

@DataGr1ff1n

thanks for the reply, sounds like their powerful enough.

What if the tank is 2 foot wide? would you double the amount of modules?

How many would you suggest on a 6x2x2 tank?

[DataGr1ff1n]

Just a Note! You will want these lights at least 6" off the top of your tank.
