Thanks you two. It took me a year to plan and build this small tank. You won't believe what I put into this small $40 Petco Aqueon Fish Tank. Even then I'm still making minor changes. IE... The lighting

XM L will have 3 choices . cool white, warm white , and neutral white. then the other 4 leds around the center xml, will be a choice of UV, Royal blue, blue, deep blue, green, red and deep red. each puck can be totally different but you will have to order those seperate. They are just offering two preconfigured options from the get go. i guess time will tell what they will cost and become availabe. The problem I see is you will want to make sure you like what you are getting or it could get costly getting a bunch of pucks.

Are these going to be fully controllable or will we have to buy a controller like the Sol?

I put in a pre-order for my vega-color. I guess I will see if I even need or want any of the other colors after I play with it for a while. The UV sounded good, but I have heard there is not really enough UV light from a few LEDS to do much? I sure don't know.
Someone posted the link to Saltysupply which is an excellent company. One more possibility is http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-s...I-10-1001.html Which is where I ordered mine. I have dealt with Jeremy Brower at Premium Aquatics and have always found him to go out of his way to help customers! He really knows his stuff too! (And in case anyone wonders, I am in no way associated with them or him, lol) They come in black or white. I am putting mine in a black hood so I went with black. |

I like the color choice of vega color, would like to see what it looks like. Not sure what a deep blue is, if it was a violet than it would be more like the uv that is out. I did a supplemental led light for 2 sol blue and added 2 red and 2 cyan and that was about the right mix

I currently have 3x 400 watt MH's and two Ecoxotic stunners strips. I am wondering if I will leave the strips when I remove the MH's?

What is the spread on the vega color listed at? Would a 36 inch tank be too long for a single unit? Softies only.

I dont think anyone could answer that yet. but they are suppose to have 80 degree optics.

I had a single unit covering 28inches with all 70 degree optics, but that was its limit even being hung 16" high, so even with the 80 degree optics I doubt a single unit would come close to the 36 you are looking for. It is to bad since the 36" is a hole niether AI or Radions are filling

I sympathize because I have a 36x36 150DD that needed 2xRadions but a single LED fixture that would have covered my whole tank would have made me happy it also would have priced the majority of 120gallon and smaller tanks, which is probably 90% of all tanks if not more, right out of the market. |

I doubt one would do the trick either, but you can ask on their site? They will tell you how many you need. That is what I did.

Sounds like they will be wireless and no need for a controller?

I just read that on RB.
""All versions of the AI Vega — the Vega Color and the Vega Blue in all colors — will cost $499 retail and come loaded with wireless control, although the existing AI Sol controller will not be able to control the AI Vegas. As we learned with AI’s PowerPuck program you will be able to further fine tune the color configuration of individual pucks for either the AI Vega Color or the Vega Blue with new pucks starting out around $50.""

Will the Vega be able to be controlled by third party controllers? specifically Profilux controllers?

I wonder what bells and whistles these things have, and will the additional colors make the tank look better or be just a waste of a led slot.
