AquaIllumination Sol Blue LED

[Dean]

I have an Al Sol Blue LED in white with power supply but no controller. Looking to sell it so I can get an LED conversion for my 29 gallon biocube. Would also trade for a Rapid LED kit or comparable. Asking $250.

Why dont you just run it?

I would have to chop up the cube hood and afraid I couldn't make it look clean.

Isnt that hard and more reliable than a rapid kit.... Functions of ai products alone are worth trying....

I'm fixing to stuff an AI nano in my JBJ hood.

Thanks for the link! I would love an update from that guy. When I am in front of a computer I'm going to join that forum and see if I can contact him. My first impression of seeing that light in his hood was " microwave". I keep all softies, mushrooms, palys, zoas, etc.. in my cube so I don't want over about 200-250 PAR. It just seems like over kill unless it was held off the water 12" or more which brings me back to esthetics. I really like the clean look of the cube. I'm going to try to get ahold of that guy. Thanks again 350gt!

I have a fairly new ai nano i could trade for the sol... It would be easier to fit and you could crank it up...

I'd run the sol personally, much better fixture than the rapid and tons more features. You can get the knob controllers for about 15 used and the wireless ones for about 60 used on other sites.

Interested in the sol if still available.

I am going to look into doing a retro with your model. That sounds like a great option.

I'm worried about a spot lighting effect using the Sol blue also with having it only an inch off of the water surface. I am currently measuring par in my 30 rectangle that I am running a 160 watt Maxspect Razor over and not liking what I am finding as far as spotlighting goes.

But i would personally retrofit it into the hood.
