Do I only need one ai prime for my 24 by 24 cube?

[Gabe aqua]

So I have a Kessil A160WE currently which I am going to sell as soon as my 30 days are up but I am going to buy an ai prime do I only need one to support a mixed coral tank? My tank is a 24x24 cube. Currently I am cycling my tank and waiting for my other fish to arrive so I have time to buy the light.

Ai primes on a 24x24? I'd run 4. At 2, you're still going to have significant shadowing issues and poor coloration at the front of the tank.


2 primes and a pair of light bars might do better. Although at that point, 4 light bars is probably better than 2+2.

What kind of light bars what brand and is there any chance you can send me a picture of your tank?

Ok yeah I might just go with two ai primes

A hydra 32 would work too in this case.
