The AI Prime! This thing is DYNAMITE!

[Reef News Verified Sponsor]

Have you taken a serious look at the AI Prime? With the excellent innovation that AquaIllumination brings to all of their lighting comes this GEM of a light! The Prime has built-in Wi-Fi, is fully controllable from your mobile device (no controller needed), and has full spectrum and adjustability (something you've come to expect from AI).

...but don't take our word for it. Check out this great video from @MarineDepot to see how this thing works!

I'm thinking about putting one of these over my frag tank.

I have 2 Ai prime on my tank and I love them.

I have one, great light for the money.

 

[xenia30]

Had one for almost a year! Corals love it!

For the price hard to beat, and the do not gouge you on the mounting bracket...

Do you think 2 would cover a 36x18x18? Looking to upgrade my lights

 

[the new guy]

My tank is 48

with two lights they cover my tank well

 

[kenniole]

^ hows the growth looking on that tank / coloration?

Personally, I would recommend one per 12" of tank length. I have 5 on a 60" and love them. I'm not having any issues growing whatever I want. Here's a couple of quick videos of mine with them on there:

Great looking tank! What's the width coverage and penetration depth.

It's a Red Sea Reefer 450.... so 60"x22"x18"

This is the first day of it running full but everything seems to love it so far and brings colors out really nice

What made you go with the primes instead of Hydra 26s or 52s

I haven't got to see the lunar setting yet I've been working third and haven't tried the weather setting yet

Ironically I had 3 Hydra 52's originally on this tank... transferred from my old tank. This was before they came out with the HD's. The Primes use different pucks than the standard 26/52's... I could not get the same spectrum with the 52's as I do the Primes. I also like the small form factor of the Primes.

The new HDS aren't that much different from the prime though right?

The HD's are closer to the Primes than the old 52's.

• The Primes use Deep Blue and Blue
• HD's use Royal Blue and Blue
• 52's use Royal Blue and Very Deep Blue

I LOVE my primes. Seriously the best lights out there
