AI SOL Owners...Anyone Swap out Optics?

RtReef · 01/13/2012, 10:34 AM

For anyone that owns a Sol unit, have you attempted to swap out the optics for, either, all 40* or 70*?

I am curious how you feel with the swap? If switched to all 70* did you get a better spread over your tank, did corals appear better? Was it easy to swap out optics?

I'm thinking of switching the 4 inner LED optics from 40* to 70* and increasing the intensity a little.

Any advice/input would be appreciated

I switched to all 70 and did make a difference on my 120, 4 foot, running 2 if them length wise.

What kind of difference..... Better coverage? Better growth?

Also was the swap easy to do and did you increase intensity since the 40* optics weren't blasting everything under them?
