wanting to upgrade to an led fixture, any recommendations?

[10gnano]

I'm currently running a 48w t5 fixture on my tank but would like to upgrade to an led fixture. It's about time for new bulbs so why not, right. I've been doing a lot of reading up on these things but am unsure on what to go with. I've looked into doing a diy but i'm not the greatest with electrical work and i'm not interested in a $150-$200 learning experience. I do like the AI Sol because of its dimming capabilities and would like to go with something along those lines. I think the AI Sol would be over kill for my tank though and I'm not sure if the AI Nano would cover the width of my tank.

My setup is a typical 10 gallon glass aquarium. I do need a fixture that will be able to sufficiently grow sps corals being thats what my tank is primarily made up of. Any recommendations on what would be a good option would be greatly appreciated. thanks everybody.

The AI nano should work. I am a big supporter of AI SOL unit. I am ordering a few for my tank as well. I just went through a big blurb on them for someone in general sicussion as well. I think the AI nano would work depending on how high you could mount it. Maybe a couple nanos?

Other options include the Kissel pendants and you could probably get away with the modular Ecoxotic strips from their nano tank.

akunochi have you found any sites that show coral growth from the AI sol fixtures? I've done alot of searching but have yet to find any for the AI fixtures.

Yeah just look over at RC. They have about a 200 page thread.

Who are you ordering the AI sol fixtures from? And how much are you getting them for? I'm pretty much sold, I've spent the last few hours reading the RC threads. A lot of good info.

I am ordering 2 AI SOL blues from Aquarium Specialty in South Carolina. I think two units with controller worked out to 1136 shipped
