Supplemental Lighting for Coverage on NUVO 10 w AI Prime

[TateLitts]

Hey all - I’ve been rocking an AI prime 16HD over my NUVO 10 for nearly a year and a half now with great growth. I just decided to jump into SPS with some easier frags (setosa, birdsnest, miyagi tort, cali tort, and PC rainbow). I know the prime can handle these, but I would like to increase the coverage because it’s just a puck. Does anyone have recommendations on how to increase coverage? Small cheap LED strips? TYIA

Honestly, you don't need more than the AI Prime.

Feel like adding another Prime? That would help eliminate the shadowing. If you like the Prime, that might be the best option.

The shortest LED bars I ever see are 24", I believe. There are cheap fixtures on amazon, like Nicrew and others, that come in 18". I don't know how wide your tank is.

Another prime. A SPS dominant tank on nano reef has 4 of them on a 10g actually… :O

I was just looking for that picture (I thought I saved it somewhere). It's freaking impressive, that's for sure!

Have you looked into reefbrite strips?
