Lighting advice

I currently have a AI prime hd over a red sea 130d. I am planning on adding to it. My options are either the aquatic life hybrid, or just adding another prime.

Now the tricky part is I’m going to be switching from the red sea to a innovative marine 25 lagoon. I keep mainly softies and acans but I would prefer going to a more mixed reef.

Thanks in advance! [emoji120]

I would add another Prime since you already have one and can set them up via wireless. They are great lights and are very versatile. They are more than capable to put out the kelvin and light intensity for your less light requiring corals, however, if you step up to more light loving corals like most SPS’, your covered.

I was leaning this way but I also was just curious as to the additional light output from the t5’s. But I do agree that it would be nice to be able to have total control over the light. Well looks like I need to design a bracket to hold two primes. Thank you!
