I ran 2 AI Sol's over my 75g, and then when I built my 210g (72x24x30)I went to 3 Sol's and 1 Vega. All lights are 10" above the waterline resting on top of my canopy. I have had great success. My 210g has been running for 2 years with the same light cycle. Its 12 hours total with 4 hour ramp to 50W, 60B, 65RB peak for 8 hours, then 4 hour ramp down. My lunar is 0W, 5B, 8RB. I'll have to look at the Vega setting, but it is not complicated. Its a pretty simple cycle that has grown chalices on the sand bed and SPS from the 1/2 way to waterline. Growth = always fragging corals to trade and sell. Color = Everyone always tells me how "awesome my tank looks, and they wish theirs was as good".

When I started with the AI lights I stared at 30% on all channels and raised them 5% per week. After a few months I noticed the intensity was too high, so I dialed it back and stuck with the ones listed above. Many have told me online that mine are too low. But This is what I know works.
