you think one Ai sol is enough for a 20L frag tank? was thinking on a DIY kit but seems like too much of a headache.......

When I bought mine their site stated and I double checked via email that each fixture is capable of lighting a 2' X 2' area if the fixture was 13" off the water.

With that said, one other thing you might think of is adding something to help with reds. That is my only complaint with my set up.

I am very happy with my Sol blues. I have lost most of my red coloration on the corals though. I am looking into running some of the Ecoxotic strips to help for now. I m also researching the Maxspect products as well.

Ya I started looking at the maxspect as well. I actually told the wife about the cloud feature, lol have to intrigue her about it some how. And I was also thinking about the AI with either a magenta or UV stunner strip, I have had the stunners before and wasnt blown away by them but the newer models might be better. The panorama magenta strip is the one to look at, this thing looks nice in my aquapod.

I have not researched them enough to know for sure. Here is a link that might help - http://www.maxspect.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=18
It is hard to tell by the diagram though. I am guessing 1 would be enough if you mount it high enough.
