So I have 2 AI Sol's over my new custom 117g. I'm extremely happy with my color spectrum, great blue, green 4500k whites. I just think I'd like to add red to help make a few more colors pop. Should I buy a small heat sink and put it between my new units? Or do 3 small strips spaced outside and middle? Maybe I'm
Just waisting my time tho, wonder if it'll really make that big of a difference. The AI units are spaced evenly over the tank. 26 inches wide, 40 inches long. Here's a pic. Don't mind the color and brightness, I'm taking my sweet time acclimating the LEDs. ( from 2-250w halides 2-T5's). Switched everything when I set up the new tank. Thanks in advance for opinions/advise etc.

This pic lights are only at 25%.
 
When I was using my sols, I bought some Ecoxotic Magenta stunner strips to balance the light out. It did bring out a bit more of the red, yellows and oranges in my corals. Since im not doing sols on my new tank, I've got the stunner strips if you want them for extremely cheap to give them a try. Research them and let,me know if you want to try them. HTH

Sweet, let me get my little one settled in and I'll shoot you a pm in the next day or so. May I ask why you're bit using AI's anymore?
 
Pic looks awesome bluejaw!!! How does it look in person? Color certainly looks more balanced now. Thanks again, it was great dealing with you.
 
I am very interested on how you are liking them as well!
 
I just hooked them up tonight, I need to play around with the colors a little. Give me a day or two. I turned all the other lights off but the stunner strips, very cool. To bright to leave them on, but the tank had a serious red look. Lol
