when i looked at the video - well only a few seconds of it LOL - it looks to me, especially looking at the sandbed, that there are "spots" of different colors... blue and white columns of light perhaps?
Fish collection in Placentia, right?
A while ago when I was looking at the first set of...
Rob, is it possible what you were seeing is spotlighting and not just shimmer? LED placement and optics can end up with columns of each color running down into the tank like tubes and not blend into what you see as 1 color.
Is it possible what you were seeing was white and blue banding then add...
Rob,
Unless I am not seeing something, that you are, in the text they are first referring to the original SOL White, which, for each pod of 3 lights contained 2 White (1W in their text) and 1 Blue (or royal blue) LED. They have 8 pods for a total of 24 LED's.
They later introduced the SOL Blue...
Hi Rob,
If you really feel that way then the AI SOL is not for you. From what I understand, they use the Cree so-called "3-watt" LED's in their fixtures as do most of the people that are DIYing their owm LED lighting. There are large threads on various "other" sites which would indicate the...
Luwe2008,
I thought you may have seen them at Capistrano Reef.
As we have mentioned in other threads, those 2 setups they have there both have center overflows which block out most of the light from the SOL fixture.
I think in spite of that those two tanks look very good, especially considering...
Louis SOL blue x 2 if price is right
Trigger SOL blue x 2 if the price is right
Trigger SOL white x 2 if the price is right
gmr7494 SOL blue x 2 if the price is right
OC SOL blue x 1 if price is right

wow, your eyes must be very good, I cannot make out anything regarding the leds from the pictures.
LarryM,
Any chance you can tell us what led's those are, and if they are crees, what series?
ocreef,
shoot me a pm if/when you get prices from them. I know the last time i was there i talked to (big) Chris and he said they had a bunch of them on order, since then it sounds as if all of the lfs have a bunch of them on order.
out of curiosity, who did you talk to there about pricing...
also, from everything I have read regarding depth, the LED's can actually be used on very deep tanks given the different optical that are available.
There is a guy on RC that has his LED fixture mounted on the ceiling above the tank and uses something like 4 degree lenses/optics on it and the...
The AI's at Capistrano are SOL Blues...
they have 3 lights in each pod/puck, and the blues have 2 blue (1 blue and 1 royal blue) and a white. I think the SOL whites have 2 whites and 1 blue per pod/puck.
I think those at Capistrano look very nice, especially considering the tanks they are above...
Well, know you said you did not want to build a sump, I am looking for what you are looking for too.
Any ways, Petco is having their $1 per gallon sale right now, so a 29 is $29.00
Good luck.
Try to keep your water really good for them.
Also try to be patient, I know it is difficult, but try to be patient with it.
My RBTA hid under the rocks upside down in the back of my litle cube tank for over a year before it finally decided to come out in the open to be seen.
It then took almost...
