Several members are running the AI SOL super blue modules. I have two over my 57g sps tank and love them. The new firmware is great.

I have 4 SOL Super Blue over my 215g tank and it's wonderful. The controller is awesome and the colors are great. Love, love, love it!

sounds great did either of you have problems with bleaching corals? from what i read the intensity of these units can be deceiving.

I started slow and still don't have it at 100%
I think I started at 35% on each color and jsut added 1 or 2 percent per day.
Right now I have it at around 40% for each of the blues and peak for white is at 70%
I don't really intent to go any brighter. This seems to work well for me.
As output intensity decreases over the years I can crank it up.

I added mine when the tank was still pretty new so I didn't have any issues. Like karin said though, with the controller you can slowly increase the output power over several weeks if needed. With the new 14 per day timer in the new firmware you can even increase/decrease the light output several times in a day to slowly acclimate the coral to the new lighting system.

That sounds so good. All I want to do is see it in action. I'm pretty much sold on it.
