220 LED Questions

[awillis]

I am currently in the process of upgrading from 120g to 330g (85x36x25) build, and I'm still struggling with lighting. Currently have a Sfiligoi hybrid T5/LED fixture, and was going to go with their Genesis fixture, but was informed that they may be pulling out of the aquarium lighting business and it was suggested that I may want to look elsewhere. After pouring over threads, countless searches and bugging the heck out of the LFS expert, I think I've narrowed down to the Vega (which should be shipping by end of this month), the Radion, and even possibly the GHL Profilux Mitras (which is in pre-order). This is going to be a predominantly sps tank. Have been trying to get recommendations on number of units needed in order to compare cost, but still no word. Anyone have any info that could help me out???

yeah, my LFS is pushing the Vega, but he really couldn't tell me how many I'll need for sure. He "THINKS 5, but could be 6. Then again, I may be able to get by with 4."

Which is why I'm still leaning towards the Orphek DIF 100's. I know I'll need 3, got that info straight from the manufacturer.

Was able to get a response from Justin at AI within 12hrs!! Looks like I'm going to need 8 Vega units. On their support page they have a "Tank Recommendations" for the Sol, but it seems that it works for the Vega as well. If any question, just post a question on their website with the dimensions of the tank, or you may get lucky with the answers to questions already posted there. Still would like to get the same info about the Mitras though.
