Anyone running the ai vega blues?
If so how do u like them and what % do u keep each one at?
 
This 2 months growth under my GEN 1 Radions with TIR lens upgrade. I have to get my march pics up here sometime too LOL. As far as growth I have been extremely happy, the one thing that had me concerned was color. I read a lot about how leds change colors and a lot of people say its for the worse. I completley DISAGREE! the colors have changed since i made the switch from T5 to LED but out of all my corals (all sps) the color has shifted for the better, colors are brighter, and richer. I also got a few new hues that I was never able to achieve with t5s. I have a friend who i bank a lot of corals with and he runs a hamilton fixture with a 14k phoenix bulb along with ATI blue+ for supplimentation and i have to say my corals color is about the same as his, at a fraction of the cost, and some pieces look unbelievably better under my leds than under his halides or my old 8 bulb t5s. I am extremely glad i made the switch! anyway on to a couple growth shots of my pink lemonade frag and my upscales frag :D
