So today I got around to installing two AI Sol Blues into the hood of my RedSea Max 250. Here's how I did it... http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/red-sea-max-owners-club/75844-red-sea-max-250-ai-sol-retrofit.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/red-sea-max-owners-club/75844-red-sea-max-250-ai-sol-retrofit.html End result on my tank...

So far I have the white and blue set at 15% max and royal at 10% max. Hopefully I won't cook my corals with that. I'm going to slowly increase the output over the next few weeks/months by about 5-10% weekly depending on how the corals seem to be handling the change. ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53856&title=annes-65g-rsm-reef" rel="nofollow - RSM 250 Reef |

Just a little update....After trying the lights at the following peak intensities for a few days (w: 100% b:100% rb50%) the right unit (the one away from the cooling fans that blow into the hood) has consistently been overheating around 7pm everyday. So to solve this I have dropped the peak intensities to w:60% b:60% rb:30% ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53856&title=annes-65g-rsm-reef" rel="nofollow - RSM 250 Reef |

Ann, maybe we should wire up a 12 inch computer fan to cool that side and then loser the voltage with a pot to slow it down and keep if from being noisy?

I could go for an 80mm fan but not a 12" one.  If you wouldn't mind helping me wire up two high speed fans to blow into each side I'd really appreciate it! ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53856&title=annes-65g-rsm-reef" rel="nofollow - RSM 250 Reef |
