Solaris I4

[Reef Rover]

My LFS has a NIB PFO Aquatics Solaris I4 Series 48 inch light that they still have from when the company went by by. They are selling it for $1,000.00. I know the warranty is no good and I am on my own as far as maintenance etc. Is it still worth it? The only thing close I can find is RapidLED who is planning on coming out with a new model of Onyx in the next couple of months that will be dimmable. I would still need a controller of some way shape or form to get the same functionality out of those lights like sunrise/sunset and or cloud cover maybe. So here is the question:


Solaris - $1000.00
or
Onyx - $300.00 - $350.00 each X 2 or possibly 3 plus controller


Tank is a Ocean View 100 = L 60" x W 19" x H 20" roughly that will be LPS and Zoanthid dominant.

They used the older generation XP-E. The current generation of Binned XT-E preforms much better and for about the same price you can get a 3 year warranty.
