Thanks for the pics, but like Dentoid said the glare sorta messes with the pics.

AQTCJAK · 11-09-2007, 03:22 AM

Sorry for the delay I just got home business meetings

Pic #1 is a hamiton 400Watt 20,000K
Pic #2 is a Soloaris I4 Series 15,000K
Pic #3 is a Solaris G Series 250 20,000K

So Jack, do you think that this light would would be good enough for the SPS corals that I love so much?

mps9506 · 11-09-2007, 11:20 AM

thanks a ton for the shots Jack.
I'm so dissapointed with what you have found with the I4. I can't wait until we get a chance to see the spectral plots and output of this fixture. I'd love to know why it is showing less growth under these lights.

AQTCJAK · 11-09-2007, 11:58 AM

Here is what I learned yesterday from speaking with everyone @ solaris the light guy & the Coral girl.

(Lighting Guy)The I series is the same light as the H Series with one exception if you like in the I4 Picture you run the whites to 100% it puts out 30% more white than the H Series

(Coral Girl) Clor of the Corals is anot as intense on the ISeries as it is on the H becuase of the 15,000K vs 20,000K

So my conclusion has become this if you like the look of a MH the I Series is for you if you like the bright colored corals the H is for you they both are great lighting systems. I personally prefer the H Series because of coloration which it what I strive for.

michael_cb_125 · 11-09-2007, 12:02 PM

I run 10K MH right now. So I should see better coloration under the I series than I do under my current lighting.

Ugh... what is 30% more white?
Tell them I want par measurements and spectral plots!

boozeman · 11-09-2007, 12:06 PM

so, for a 60x32x25 tank I would need to get two 60'' fixtures?

AQTCJAK · 11-09-2007, 12:13 PM

Michael if you are running 10K your are yellow in color, If you want the most color go for the H Series.

They are going to be posting some more current infomation soon is what I have been told

michael_cb_125 · 11-09-2007, 12:14 PM

Cant you just adjust the whites down, and turn the blues up?

AQTCJAK · 11-09-2007, 12:17 PM

This is the old spread these were with the G Series Light

12" deepth the solaris would spread 16"
18" deepth the solaris would spread 21"
24" deepth the solaris would spread 26"

michael_cb_125 · 11-10-2007, 09:57 AM

boozeman · 11-10-2007, 11:10 AM
