How many SOL units?
I have a 24 x 20 x 20 tank that I'm getting ready to set up. I have seen a great discrepancy in what people recommend for lighting with AI SOL units. I have seen some people recommend that one AI Sol module per foot is the best way to light the tank evenly, and then I have seen others go with one unit for every 2 feet. I dont plan on using the AI stock rails directly over the tank and instead plan on having the light about 8-12" AWL and would like to grow SPS in the top half or 3rd of the tank. I am certainly open to getting additional 70 degree optics if that will allow me to run only one unit and get solid coverage capable of making SPS thrive. Unless the Vega comes out with UV lighting (which I stronly doubt,) then I be going with SOL's and will also be supplementing either some T5 lighting or possibly some ecoxotic stunners which will add some additional light to the tank. Any advice, particularly from people who are running AI SOL's over their tank, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
