Need advice- Will AI Prime HD provide proper coverage

[Lucardious]

I have a 65 gallon tank measuring L:36" W:18" H:24". I'm looking to create a Euphyllia garden with maybe some nems down the road. Thanks in advance.

Any other lighting advice or equipment recommendations is also appreciated

I would go with 2 AI primes in that situation. Footprint wise, that is more than sufficient. Its the depth that I would be worried about. All my AI primes are in frag tanks that are shallow.

That was my main concern was performance at the bottom if I decided to throw a scolly in there or something. You think having the two it will help created more PAR and the lower portion of the tank?

It might help slightly with the lower portion of the tank, but not much. Hopefully someone that has used these on deeper tanks can chime in with their thoughts.

You will need two. I have a 30" drop off tank which requires two.

I would actually go with either 3 Primes or 2 Hydra 32's. By having more pucks, their light cones will have more intersecting areas and produce higher PAR and better coverage throughout the tank.
