LED FIXTURE

The factory AI controls are pretty basic. Just on/off, dawn/dusk setting. Once teamed with the GHL controllers you can get lunar clock, variable lighting thoughout the day, dawn/dusk times ten, cloud simulation, rain days, thunderstorms, and more. Awesome combo.

While I don't actually have an AI or controller, that doesn't seem to be true. The AI controller does dim up/down for sunrise/sunset effect. There is a lunar cycle with moonrise/moonset effect. You can dim to adjust color temp between blue and white LED's. Not what I would consider basic, but as weshelton points out, not quite bells and whistles of having a Profilux attached.

The sunup/down on the AI controller is just that % up and down. With the GHL you can adjust the % for up and down for varying amounts of time.

I am running the IIeX, when my upgrade kit arrives I will be running the IIIeX.

The others that will work with the AI light, but cost a lot less are the II ($300) and Light II ($283), you cannot upgrade these models.

To give you an idea of what the GHL controllers can do

I agree that the Profi has serious controllability, but also feel that it is more than most people may need/want. All I'm saying that, as far as light fixtures go, this one is pretty advanced in what it can do without the Profi.

When do you get your III? My upgrade kit has shipped already ...

[wesheltonj]

Mine was one of the first shipped and of course it arrived damaged. My replacement has been shipped and should have been here today, but of course no such luck. Maybe tomorrow. (well so much for tomorrow, still in Canada) This thing is still sitting in Canada

Wow, very impressive. I think I will go with just the light and stock controller. Has anyone heard of any problems with ordering from reef geek?

[txg8gxp]

How big of a tank are you running, and how many modules would you go with?

[secretweapons22]

Its a Neo Nano... 24x24 16in high... Only need one from what I have read. Reef geek agreed, but getting a second opinion. They said to suspend 10-12 in above tank and it would be more than enough. Which is what I wanted to do anyways, since this tank has the tall back wall with waterfall feature. It is only going to hold high end Zoas and Palys. Nothing more

Nice setup, I'm debating the same for a 24x24x25 lps tank.

It looks very nice, sleek and modern. They also have a hanging kit available. Its not listed on their site, but the rep said its 40 bucks. But would be worth not trying to rig something on a light that nice.
