No, I don't think it's any different.

Oh ok,

[hyperfocal]

You arm chair reefers make me laugh!

Who am I to argue with your 4 month success story? Good luck, have a nice day.

[Bergovoy]

ouch...

I am curious to see the Nanometers of these lights. I would like to see the peeks and dips in what ranges and so on. Does anyone kow if this info is available?

Very happy with mine, 72 inch version purchased about 4 weeks ago. The lights replaced 4 72 inch VHO bulbs. The coral looks great and the chiller has not run once!

Expensive, but very nice.

please do not do that... there is a SUBSRIBE TO THIS THREAD link directly below the reply form.

[MercZ]

Can anyone post pics of there tanks while using the LED fixture so we can see what they look like.

[Amphibious]

If you go to the top of this thread the first post has a link to the first 40 pages of the original thread. There you will find all the text and photos we have submitted over the last six months or so.

If you want more go to PFO's web site and check out the photos submitted by Solaris customers at - Customer Galleries

Photos of any tank to discern lighting color or color rendition are pretty much useless. There are simply too many variables that come into play. If you want to see what they look like, you will need to do so in person.

here's a FTS from cindyolson
MH


Solaris


solaris 4 months later


if you look at the last 10 pages from the link in the first post you will find more....


Acro in july 06 under 72" MH, 3 - 175W 10K & 4 - 39W Actinics.


Same Acro in september still under MH just before adding the solaris


same acro under the solaris for 3 weeks...

[lalc]

nice! pic's
I am sold
to bad I cant buy them.

[BeanAnimal]

How could one be "sold" on PICS? That utterly baffles me.

[Amphibious]

FYI, anyone wondering about the above Acro, here is a current pic of it. You can see the Acro Crab is doing fine, too.





Thought you might like to see the growth under the Solaris lights, now six months into them.

[LarryW]

sweet, that pic pretty much says it all. you can grow SPS with the solaris and the right water params.

thanks for the update.

You are absolutely correct but, lacking the system to go look at in person, pictures are the next best thing.

LarryW Yes!


In the original thread (link to it above) I posted pictures of my clams under the Solaris from Nov 7, 06. A couple of RC members made claims that my clams were gaping and starving to death, which was preposterous. So how are my gaping and starving clams doing now? Here are two pics of them.



The one above from straight on.



This one taken from above. Both pictures taken 3/30/07.

Many people don't realize that most clams look different from above because of the different angle of light reflection.

I just wanted to set the record straight. Clams do great under Solaris lighting.
