29G Lighting help

My tank hit the 7 month mark a couple of days ago and my Aquaknight light has broken 2 times and I'm looking for a long term replacement for easy LPS corals for around 120-150$ does anyone have any suggestions, Its the Petco 29g. Thank you!

I have the same 29g tank. At that price you’re going to have to keep your eyes peeled for a used AI Prime HD. I warn you though you’re going to need two if you want full coverage of the tank. Right now I have one (picking up a second tomorrow) and have it positioned in the center and it doesn’t cover the whole +30” because they’re only designed to cover 24”x24”.

I second the AI Prime. I have 2 over 24". Depending on what you're keeping. Softies and some live rock 1 would hold you over. At about 220$ new its slightly out of budget so used would be good! Eventually having 2 would be preferable though

Alright thank you both! I'll try to look out for a used AI prime! But do I need 2 AI Primes to be able to grow coral or should 1 be fine temporarily for 3-5 weeks?

What coral are you trying to grow and do you have a shot of the tank? 1 Ai will work for now depending on type of coral and their placement

I cant currently get a pic of the tank right now and I'm trying to grow duncans and xenia/zoas.

1 will work for now of you place the corals appropriately.

Good looking out. Op if you can afford to try to work a deal for like 300 for both.... that saves you 200 vs new. and you'll have both! just a thought. Let us know how you do
