You keep spending your money on expensive corals like these and you'll never afford those LED lights! :lol

[Bill S]

Both? Stunned at the prices, but if they work out and color up anywhere near what the photos show, I'll do it again...

[Bill S]

LOL LoneStar. I'm on the list for an AquaIllumination light when they come out in July: www.aquaillumination.com. Haven't made a FINAL choice, though. I have about $1K in my paypal account...

NICE BILL! BTW for the non tech related people, if you look at that light, there is an rs232 port coming off of it. RS232 = Serial port. You can hook it up to your PC. TOO COOL.

Looks cool Bill. I can't WAIT to start getting frags into my tank...in October :roll

What swayed you away from Solaris to AquaIllumination?

[5.0Stang]

Man bill i just got over wanting LED's cause of the price of solaris...Now look what youve done

[Bill S]

Solaris vs. Aquaillumination:

1) A 2 year TRANSFERABLE warranty. There are poor slobs out there with 3 month old Solaris' wanting to trade up to the new 400w fixtures, and whoever they sell them to has no warranty. When it's a new technology product, I think that stinks. It probably devalues their purchase 25-40%.

2) Made in USA (not China), with a 24 hour test prior to shipping

3) Preliminary data show it's PAR to exceed that of the Solaris

4) About 20-25% less than a Solaris
