I'm only kidding of course....


I didn't get in this hobby to save a buck... If that's the case... I would drop this hobby..

I like LEDs, cause I do... I like all my gadgets up to date.....

Lol, never really ask them for stuff my dad was all for it when he seen aces tank but mom completely disagreed, the only thing my dad hates is taking me to someone's house that's far away lol.

LED isn't any more challenging, especially if you're purchasing big name LED lights with the easy option like the AI Vega's, a better argument for LEDs is energy efficiency which I totally agree with. I ran the AI sols when they first came out and I've always been impressed but the light output, comparing my new MH/T5/LED fixture I get exceptional light output. Not saying I won't eventually get to LEDs on the new tank as that's my plan. I really would like to run the Vertex LED light just a little pricey at the moment at $2750 for a 4ft fixture.

LEDs are a challenge..... I've had the sols and now the Vegas.... It's all guess work.


mh, just have a good reflector, bulb and ballast..... Plug in and pick your height...


ive had the Vegas a few months now and everything was coming around and bam I start bleaching stuff....

I still love the lights..... Just don't like sps.... Too picky!!

that's a lot of light, how many watts total will that use when all running??

60w per module. If I ran them at 100% that's 480w total.
