***SOLD***

Yup, I'm considering selling the AI Sol Whites that I have sitting around and have never used. I just can't stomach looking at these collect dust anymore. I can't afford to spend anymore weekend's and money to have someone make new canopies, try to match stains, etc in order to make these work for me.

I had also considered putting two of them over my FOWLR but figured these lights are probably too nice/expensive and reef capable to put over a FOWLR. I REALLY don't want to get rid of these, but I have many other "needs" that I could be using these funds on.

I got them from someone I ended up knowing and can vouch that they were used less than 4 months before he got out of the hobby. They are basically new, are in original packaging, come with the 60" mounting rails (w/feet) and a controller. The ONLY thing missing from the package are the brackets which separate/connect the mounting rails from one another. (it has the feet instead of the hanging kit)

I have 5 modules. I will only entertain splitting them up if I have buyer's for all 5 plus the accesories. If someone wanted to split with someone else, I know Aquamart carries the controllers in stock for around $80.

$1700 for everything. That's $450 under retail ($2150) and another $170 or so in tax savings (if you had to pay tax). I would assume shipping would be free on these things based on the price?!? I'm going to leave this on here for about a week to see if anyone is seriously interested before I put it on Craigslist.

***FYI...I put "feeler" because if I can figure out how to get some help in making a simple canopy for either or both of my tanks (or an expert at matching wood stains) then I might possibly want to use them. (I SUCK/don't know anything about woodworking, not a handyman) However, if someone jumps on this...I'll honor the price I have listed to be fair. I HAVE to get my builds completed ASAP, before my better half kills me since I need to have some time away from the "build".

i would be so down for these.........i would be sleeping in the fish room though. :( you finance?? lol
Lol....im on my way to the doghouse myself, just for this build nearing a year long and not being finished. The continuing of the bobby isn't the issue, not having the equipment/tank side done is causing the problems. ;) wish I could finance...would for sure. I had to sell something I never thought I would to get these. :(

To bad these are the Sol Whites. If they where blue I would have to give it some strong thought.......as I only need two plus the controler.

Thankfully I have't gotten the bug to rearrange, paint drill, or tear down since the initial build started. I just have to get completely finished! ;) If they start eyeballing me too bad we'll see...definitely worth saving up for, I sold a high-def movie projector that was my favorite electronic piece of equipment to get them. Soon I'll be without both, what is happening?!? ;)

I had the same thought as you with the whites. That gave me a moment of pause as well until I did enough research to realize they would still work awesome for me. I have yet to see anyone running these near 100% which allows for the blues on the sol "whites" to be turned up making the color more blue than white. I felt like it gave me more versatility than the blues. I also found out that the "pucks" in the modules are easily swapped out for $25...so if I found out I truly wanted more blue I could just swap out a few pucks.

I see. I did some research and found most of that info. Let me know if you decided to sell and willing to part out as I only need two light modules and a controller.

We'll give me a price on 3
To split into a set of 2 and a set of 3...I'd say;

- $700 for two w/controller
- $975 for three w/out controller, but including mounting equipment.
OR
- $625 for two w/out controller
- $1050 for three w/controller and mounting equipment

Something along those lines.

Martin, I'm biting the bullet on this (as you can see by my other recent F/S ad). :( So if someone else goes in with you to split it up, I can and will do so.

Like the update to the original post says...NO LONGER A FEELER. I just need to make sure if the set is getting separated that I have buyers for everything first.

I would buy the entire set if I knew that it wasn't gonna cost me $800 to have our hot tub wired. How much for one? :)

Well that stinks :( Who cares if the hot tub gets wired correctly, getting zapped while relaxing in a hot tub makes you feel alive! (but could kill you I guess) I'm not interested in splitting it down to single modules unless every module is spoken for and I can sell them all basically at the same time. If that makes sense?!?
