AI Sol blue died - replacement options?

Billdogg · May 28, 2018

As the title says - one of my 5 year old AI Sol Blues crapped out on me today. The white channel fades in and out, nothing from either blue or royal blue. The other Sol hooked up to the same controller is fine (for now?)

So what are my replacement options? The tank is a standard 120 mostly SPS. I wouldn't be opposed to getting a Hydra 52HD (or a pair) but at $599ea from BRS that was something I really hadn't budgeted for! I suppose I could get just one for now and another in a month or two.

What would you do, and why?

I intend to stay 100% LED, but otherwise, all suggestions are welcome!!

Thanks for your help!

I would contact AI first to see what your options are. They may be able to fix. If not, they may offer a discounted replacement. They may not but the least you can do is ask. A closed mouth doesn't get fed! Learned that in college!
