so far the light is wonderful. getting good color on my polyps and shrooms. as well as things that were closed before are starting to open. currently my only gripe is with the mount. it attaches to a pivot ball that you tighten to a set position of your choice. the problem is the supplied bearing is plastic so if you over tighten it. the plastic bearing breaks. hopefully they will find a solution to this.

Simple solution is to install the half moon shaped piece backwards so the small hole on it is against the sphere swivel. And voila perfect amount of resistance. Just be careful not to over tighten the screws.

Installed my AI prime today. i also purchased the AI metal mount that is made for the Prime.

here are my thoughts about the ai prime, the mount, and the My AI program for android.

Prime- well built solid construction. very compact and easy to handle. great light output from the single puck. comes wifi enabled

mount- solid black brush aluminum construction. my only gripe about it is that. the supplied screw that holds the mount to the tank is plastic and was not easy to screw in. made it difficult to install in my 12g nano. other than that the mount is great.

My AI - simple easy to use. the amount of customization is lacking. not able to set up multiple schedules. cant change the percentage of weather effects.

all things im sure that AI can improve upon with a simple update. all in all i love the light. running it at about 50% right now.


Please tell me which tank this is. I have the same but not idea what make.model

I have had two of these lights with the supplied brackets for a year. No issues. You must position the light before tightening the two screws. Its not designed to be moved after.
