AI prime light settings.

Devlin · Jul 23, 2015

I recently purchased one for my 15g. It's very easy and convenient to operate. My question is what is good light settings for optimal growth on corals. I'm just starting out in the saltwater world. Would like some feedback from experienced people with the prime.

I like 14k. Gives color and growth IMO

This is my set up now. 15 g
Hob filter with carbon and phosgard
Tunze 9001 skimmer
100w heater.
All my levels are good. Just don't have a clue as to what good lighting levels I should have. I'm a beginner but I'm learning fast.

Looks good.... You like the blue huh? This is mine right now while I build the larger tank. Looks barren

Haven't figured out how to get good color. As stated I am running 14k and it looks fine, corals like it. But I have seen some stunning pics under these lights.

I was told by someone with an ai to set it like this. I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to setting it.

I changed my lighting up some today. Put my whites on 45. Corals seem to like it more.

Are you adjusting with iOS app or pc? I prefer to set with pc as they have preset 10k, 14k, 17.5k and 20k settings.

Using my phone app. I use the manual mode. So I can up my blues more and lower my red and green. Haven't even logged in to the computer to mess with it.

I really like mine. Swapping some zoas and sps acros for some fish tomorrow. I ordered some lps to replace them. Got jf jack o lantern coming I'm pretty pumped about. Getting a 45g red sea tank in 2 months. Going to be all high end frags and fish.

I've had my AI prime since april on my 24g nano. I noticed yesterday when my buddy was over looking at my new 90g. build, But of course he was more interested in my 24g. as its set up and running. This is when i notice the fan was humming to a stop then would start running again with like 3 to 4 second intervals. Today when i got home from work it was not doing it but im afraid my fans going out. i have a lil fan at the back of my tank blowing across it just incase it does decide to go. I contacted salty supply and AI support so far salty has only replied. im sure ai will after reviewing my email. Anyways has any of you heard of this? And just so im clear i love this light and plan on getting one more to run on my 90g. when i do my transfer.
