    Can anyone articulate the difference between the AI SOL Blue and White fixtures, and the pros and cons of each?

    The Blue has more blue LEDs the white has more white LEDs. Typically people prefer blue light for reef tanks, as it is more visually appealing and makes corals fluoresce better and not look so washed out. That's really about all there is to it... Also, I've heard rumors that white is discontinued.

    Cool thanks. The T5 set up I have leans toward the blues for that same reason, so I will probably go that route. Was just curious if there was anything else to consider in that area. Thanks!
