    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.....

    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!!

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