AI Primes on Redsea Reefer 250

[Toff]

Hello,
Kinda newbie here so bear with me. Im upgrading from a 17g/65l nano to a Red Sea reefer 250 and I need advice on lighting. On my current nano I'm using a single AI Prime 16HD. I'm not intending on going full SPS yet but have a few LPS and a couple of Montipora, all growing extremely well.

I cant really afford to get a couple of Red Sea ReefLED90's or Hydras just yet but was considering buying a second Prime 16HD for now.

My question is will this be enough for now?

(and thats my nano, first tank, getting a ad crowded)

Yes, you'll be fine with a pair of Primes.

I run Primes on my RSR350, and not at full strength, either.

You don't need 90's on a reefer 250. That's a bit much lamp imo.

I run 2 reefled 50's on my rsr 250 anenome tank, and it's Plenty of Lamp.
