Thanks for all of the input.  I have purchased 3 units so far.  I am planning on getting a 4th but I am going to wait until Aug to see how there new one looks.

You'll need the VDM module to run the AI's with your apex.  I run two units on my 4" 75 gal.  I would bet that 4 would be enough for a 220gal tank.]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2012 11:41:07 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57588&PID=475324&title=led-lighting-for-220#475324 <![CDATA[LED Lighting for 220 : You can do three and get away...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57588&PID=475322&title=led-lighting-for-220#475322 Author: jwoo

You can do three and get away with it but four might be better for optimal lighting.

5 over a 90? Now that's just crazy talk! WAY overkill.

I believe the spread on each fixture is 24in max on the AI sol.  I could be wrong, but think that is what I was reading. 
 
So it sounds like it should work out for you.

I got the controler with it.  I was also told that I could trade out for the controler that will work with the apex.  I have been told that the AI controler is pertty cool.
 
They will be over a 220 (72x24x30).  I have seen som people putting 5 units over a 90 tall tank.  So I was like maybe I need to add more like.  Then again they also had them at close to 100%.  So I am sure that in a few week they posted a vid on how they bleached out there corals and the lights are just junk.

Length? Almost certainly 4 I would think. Also, dimming will enable you to deal with "too much light". But I doubt 4 is even close to overkill on what must be a 6 ft tank. ]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2012 11:09:51 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57588&PID=475316&title=led-lighting-for-220#475316 <![CDATA[LED Lighting for 220 : So last question on lighting I...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57588&PID=475313&title=led-lighting-for-220#475313 Author: lskurys

So last question on lighting I think.  Should I use 3-4 AI units on a 220 tank?]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2012 11:04:12 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57588&PID=475313&title=led-lighting-for-220#475313 <![CDATA[LED Lighting for 220 : Last night I got a really good...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57588&PID=475287&title=led-lighting-for-220#475287 Author: lskurys

My Cree's grow coral like weeds... 

I would build mine almost identically today, and I would buy Cree again.  Not sure what that means but its true.
