Hi Marvette and Welcome! Glad you joined. I don't currently have those particular AI's so I will defer to others. If you don't happen to get your answer here in this Forum Welcome thread, then perhaps search/try Forum Lighting thread

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

Welcome!! Hopefully you will find all the help and advice you will need! How big is the tank and how many primes do you have, also what kind of corals will you be looking to keep?

Welcome to R2R Marvette. I don’t have those lights. But I’m sure someone will advise.

Welcome to R2R! I have a couple of AI Prime 16HDs and I use the Dave Saxby settings from the AI web site. I know a lot of people start with the settings from BRS. I would suggest you make a post in the Lighting forum. State the size and general dimensions of your tank along with what livestock you have or are planning to add. That way people can give you a starting point. The light settings can be vary different depending on tank dimensions and what you keeping in the tank.

Hi Marvette, welcome to Reef2Reef!

Hey! Welcome to R2R! You’re definitely in good hands here. I would check out the lighting forum but if you could tell us about your size of tank and what you want to stock, that will definitely help.

This is what my schedule looks like for my softie/LPS tank. Not my schedule, but it’s been working great for me after turning it down to about 50% of the actual preset. My tank is also new so I’ll be raising it soon I think.
