So I spent the whole night installing and "Programming" My Apex to control my AI Sol's and BOY Was that fun (NOT!!!) I do however have a couple of questions and want to know what everyone thinks....

1. My tank is 48" x 24" x 24" (120) I am now running 2 AI Sol's is that enough light? I dont plan on having to much high end stuff.

2. Who all has done the programming of the AI Sol's in the Apex Software? I think I followed the info correct but still waiting to see if the lights work properly.

Here is the Programming I used from Neptunes forum:

I'm afraid I'm no help in the Apex programming field, but as for enough light for your tank, I think that is entirely up to you.  If the coverage is good and you either don't see any shady spots or are OK with lower light levels in some spots you are good to go.  For me, I ran 4 Sols over my 180, 6' x 2' x 2', for a couple days and didn't care for the coverage.  When I added my other 2 it all came together.  So far I love these lights.

Those are great and I'm sure the will help out. Consider adding any of your other config to the Apex thread.
