What type of light is this and will it be great for corals?

 

[Potatohead]

Sol blue?

Sol blue?

Looks like it will getting one for $80 be a good deal?

AI Sol Super blue.
Make sure all the pucks and the two data ports and the power supply work.
I use them for a mixed reef.
The data ports are known to not work for random reasons and the pucks and lenses are almost impossible to find parts for, same goes with the power supply. They generally go for $100-$130 with everything included and all parts working.
Effective for about a 20”x16” area.

It might also be an AI sol White. You want a super blue. The white ones(has no correlation to case color) are not meant for reef tanks)

Ask for a picture of the back and you can tell which one it is

Ok thank you for the info I'll look for the controllable newer ones instead

What is your budget?
I can help you figure out a light that will work.
Also, what are you trying to keep and what tank/tank size do you have?
How long has it been running for?

I'm running a 90 gal Fowlr but wanted to get a nice light to spice it up once this coralline algae growth kicks in. It's about 4 months old heading to 5

If it’s a Aqua Illumination Sol Super Blue selling for $80, that is a really good price, and not steep at all. They use to be one of the best LEDs around. I don’t think you can get any good used LED under $100, even $100 is a really good price.

Ok. I saw your other posts where you had a 35 gallon tank set up in July. Is this a separate tank?
If so, can you post a full tank picture so I can see what I’m working with?
You will need 3 AI sol super blues for a 90.

I agree, I just factor in how much life it has left in it and features in newer models and price points. It’s just an opinion

Yeah. No controller is a minus.

Better off getting one of the 32" 300w LED's from SBReef Lights. It's not a radion... But it works fine, is the best thing bar none in it's price range, and the price range is pretty low.

SBReef sBox Pro 32" (With built in Timer) <--- LINK

I know a few people with them, not only do they have no problem, but their corals are colorful and happy. I will again double down and say, yeah, it's no radion.. But it's not bad.

Here's a couple of pics I currently have two 165w LEDs

I happen to have 3 AI Sol Super Blues with controller that I’m selling. I’m selling it local though. Let me know if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

First off, No.
Waaay to many fish.
Mabye a scopas tang in a 90, but a blue, yellow, purple, naso, Humu humu, and a batfish and an Achilles tang and a flame angel? Noooooooo.
Please tell me that that is not what I see.
#reefsquad
If it is what I think it is, get rid of pretty much every fish in that tank. They need much more room and that is not a sutaible tank for those fish.
Watch the BRS 52 weeks of reefing and also look at the reef2reef thread about setting up a reef tank. Please don’t take this the wrong way. I highly suspect that you had no idea how bad this is. If you do no and purposely put these fish in there, then shame on you.
Please remove them ASAP!

The moorish was given away and I was in the process of splitting them up until disaster struck! A darn heniochus introduced velvet so I passed them onto a fellow reefer who attempted to treat them but they didn't make it. It sucks [emoji853][emoji852] but at least three survived ( humu trigger, batfish and naso)
