AI Vega - Success keeping SPS?

Reeferskeepers · 01/30/2018, 12:59 PM

Hi guys, just bought a 90gl. tank and it came with 3 AI Vega LED lights. I'm having a hard time finding much valuable information online about these other than the fact that they are a discontinued older model.

Are these lights any good? I plan on keeping a mixed reef, with some acropora will these be enough?

Yes they are good.. yes you can grow any corals you want with them..

While I did eventually update to AI Hydra 52's, the Vegas will be fine for SPS. I needed to run them at close to 100%, but they did fine.

oh my yes. i've been growing loads of SPS with them for years now. good lights. eventually i upgrade, but as long as they're all still functioning (knock on wood) they're doing just fine.
