AI nano sol success?

Is anyone running one of these lights on a system for say more than 6 month with any real success?

I have been running one now over my 28g nanocube for about 6-7 months. I was using the JBJ LED hood with decent results but switched over to the AI after winning one in a raffle.

I cant seem to get any good color out of anything SPS, LPS, Zs & Ps. Anything that I put in that once did have good color especially zoas and palys seem to fade over time but maintain good polyp extension and growth.

I do have good growth with SPS and LPS as well. Parameters are all good nitrates and phosphate are undetectable and the system is very stable about a year old.

My only thoughts are that I'm not feeding enough of something or more likely that I have an issue with the light probably the way I have it set up.
I would love to hear from some one who is running one of these successfully and compare settings.

Thanks!
 
I have been running one since October of 2011. I have good coloration on all my z's, p's and acans. As well as encruting montis and monti caps. The acros is where I am having trouble. My growth rates and color on SPS are not going so well. Have a thread in another forum where some SPS gurus believe my tank is nutrient deficient. I can not contribute the lack of sps color and growth to the ligth itself. I currently have my levels turned way down.
 
I currently have one on my 27g cube. The light is mounted about 6" off the water surface. I'm currently running all bulbs(white, blue, royal blue) at 80% for 10 hours a day. I have had not problems keeping any types of corals. any coral i put in the tank starts at the bottom for about a week then slowly move up. I keep tons of zoos, polyps, acans, monti caps, softies, lps and sps corals. I have them spread out from the bottom of my tank to almost the top. I have had my setup running for about 6 months now and love it. i hear that others are not running the light that intense and long but thats how i roll. No bleaching of any kind. very happy w/ the light. good luck. I have a thread on her just check it out under 27g tank on nano forum.
