Great info on the tank mount. Been wanting to get one along with the mount for a 10g Nuvo Fusion nano but I guess I'll skip the mount for now until they fix it. Anyone try the hanging kit AI sells for the Prime?

I'm guessing these are only going to be used on nano tanks and shallow wide tanks?

yes these were meant to be a affordable low cost instrument for the nano reefer.

well. the rubberband wasnt a permanent fix. it was just temporary. had to replace the rubberband.

I found a permanent fix for droopy Primes, unscrew the metal bracket that tightens the ball joint, and flip it around

Haha yah I suppose that would work.

I'm thinking about getting 2 of these for a 36"x18"x17" tank with Sps in the top half. Would the prime be too weak for the SPS?

i only have 1 sps frag. and it seems to be happy. but as far as getting two for a large tank. i think it would be better to get something like a reef breeder light. i think the par would be very low with even two lights. i believe they are best suited for nanos

some settings i have been running for about a month now.

These are the settings I have ran for about a month also. I have mine on a 4 hour ramp up / 2 hour ramp down. I leave the DB and B at 1% overnight.

FYI, AI sent me a replacement horizontal bracket. Evidently the original batches had the ball joint space overdrilled, and that's why adequate compression was impossible.

Dang. They just sent me a new kit two weeks ago to replace whatever I needed to make it work. I only replaced the plastic ball joint. The rep I talked to, didn't say anything about that. I am sure my new plastics will give out and I'll need to call them again.
