I'm in the market for new lights and considering this piece. Is this capable of ramping up/down-sunrise/sunset? Thanks!

Very cool!

I have the prime but I am not a fan because there is no presets (that I know of) so I have to turn the lights up and down everyday

anyone have any tips or know of presets please let me know.

Alisha, I am sure that you have the app on your phone, right? You can set it up from there. It was easier for me to set the light schedule from my laptop. You can basically set "way points" that your lights will follow. These will be based on the hours of the day. You can even drag a setting , say from 730am to 5pm if you want your lights to have the same intensity throughout the day. That's what I do. I have had great success with these lights and can post my light schedule from the ai app if you are interested.

x2 AI Primes for $400 or x1 XR15 PRO for $400? I think I know what I'm choosing now.

I'm just waiting to tear the UPS guys arm off. It's supposed to be here soon! It's the last of the equipment I need for my cube build.

I do have the app on my phone but when I set it up it doesn't turn my light on for some reason

I should try it on my laptop, thanks for the info!

These lights are great but the programming is definitely not intuitive. If you dig around in the app you can find pre sets for 10k, 14k, and 20k. It took me a while to figure it out but I have it set up exactly the way I want it. Now I just need to figure out the lunar cycle because I think it's kind of neat.

They do get you with the $100 Reef Link.

I just realized I mixed up some stuff. The AI Prime doesn't need the Reef Link, that is for ecotech.

I spoke to a eco-tech rep, they told me i didn't need a reef link. Thanks for the heads up .

I have a 24x24 50 gallon cube. Would one Prime be enough? I have no corals near the edges of my tank, they're mostly near the middle.

This is my dream light right now! I saw one the other day at a LFS and I must have one. I couldn't believe that it was growing sps at around 30% full power. I'm saving up for one now! Sooo if you guys need someone to test or do a review on one of these I'm your guy!
