Hi Jon, I'm quite new to reefing myself. I'm curious if you'd be willing to share you light schedule with me? I'd be more than willing to send you an email as well if you're willing. Your tank looks wonderful.

Lazy Lagoon - 6 years ago

I do hope that wrasse is now in a bigger tank, the person who sold you that either didn't know what size tank it was going in or they had no idea what they are doing

I had a terrible experience with two AI Primes I owned... I think I just had the bad luck of getting two lemons from Drs. Foster and Smith.

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

well on my new 4 foot tank im having 3 so i guess you would need 4 or 5 but 4 would do the job just fine.

twinturbo111 - 8 years ago

is this strong enough to grow SPS?

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

yeah thats fine the spread is 2 foot by 2 foot by 2 feet is the ideal spread rate.

twinturbo111 - 8 years ago

if my tank is 70 cm deep, can i still use these for SPS? also how is the spread?

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

100% im putting 3 of these on my new 395L tank that will be mainly sps corals

sergiaow - 8 years ago

Hi mate, I'm in brisbane too. Where did you get the Ai prime from? Cheers

sergiaow - 8 years ago

Thanks mate. I let them know! Cheers

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

gallery Aquatica At Wynnum. If you go there say jon sent you.

Christi Cechner - 8 years ago

I am really curious if you have any problems with any of the nuisance algae running your green and red so high? Question two: What max white should be running? I am getting alot of conflict opions.

Christi Cechner - 8 years ago

Thanks, good to hear. I was a bit nervous switching from Halogen to LED, I just had no clue as were to set the lights, just was told that using green and red would cause algae. Changing my lights now. Grin.

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

no i dont get any algae due to the light the only algae i get is due to lack of water changes i run my light at 60% for 2 hours of the day and then it is a constant ramp up and down from there.

Danny's Fish - 8 years ago

Any loud noise created by this light?

J.H.G - 8 years ago

It has a fan. you can only hear it if you place your ear 2 inches from the unit.

Danny's Fish - 8 years ago

Danny's Fish - 8 years ago

I cant wait to get one!

Mark Weber - 8 years ago

My e mail is rockingcm@gmail.com. Thank you for your help I can't find much info on suggested settings and really confused about the wattage setting on next tab in the program.

Mark Weber - 8 years ago

Can you recommend the proper settings for the light? I cannot find any information and just winging it. Also the lunar settings I would appreciate any help on those settings.

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+Mark Weber if you send me your email i can give you my exact light settings that you can upload to your prime via a laptop or pc

e46orozco - 8 years ago

hey I have a question on the top that you have on the tank I'm sure that you made it correct or at least have the glass cut? what I'm really interested in knowing is where you got those clips to hold the glass on top I have an Innovative Marine tank and I want to make a glass top like this thanks a lot subscribing!

e46orozco - 8 years ago

+PULL MY Finger best advice besides no fish would be to have smaller fish. and a refuguim system along with consistent water changes.

e46orozco - 8 years ago

+PULL MY Finger nitrates are not the devil as we have learned in the last 4 years, that is why consistent water changes and refugium biological filtration such as macroalgae is the key to a healthy Reef system my nitrates are undetectable and I don't even have a refugium system, weekly water changes charcoal is all I run. no filter .... that's like saying there should be no fish in the ocean even though there's already an ecosystem that perfectly balanced out the ocean to not have nitrates.... owning a reef system is doing our best to replicate the ocean and fish are one of the biggest parts of the attraction. I don't know why you're being the fish tank police here but you really shouldn't tell people how to run their tanks if they're looking healthy lol

e46orozco - 8 years ago

+PULL MY Finger what're you talking about lol many successful reef tanks have fish lmao?

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+e46orozco it actually came with the aqua one tank itself im sure if you call them up or search it up you can find the clips and so on.

Mikhail Magpayo - 8 years ago

what were the channel levels at 14:40? I like that actinic light look.

nice tank btw!

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+Mikhail Magpayo thanks all of the blues and violets are at 90% and white,red,green are at 0 %

I just bought this same led fixture and mount, it says it's 18" width. you think this is effective enough to light up the whole spread on this tank ?:o

e46orozco - 8 years ago

what do you think should I buy another one or to sync them teovtehr In my 24x24 tank or should I just buy the next light size up that's 340

Abraham Luevano - 8 years ago

I hate how the lights blink really fast

marsdog - 8 years ago

it only flickers on video.

Yordany Rosario - 8 years ago

that's the water movement at the top of the water. not the leds

Jesper Andersen - 8 years ago

lovely light, what is the buzzing sound? and windy sound? sounds like you are outside in a storm while poke a bee hive.

love your tank looks great

Christo Klopf - 8 years ago

Can two of these lights be controlled at the same time?

bruce phillips - 8 years ago

+Christo Klopf fairly simple process using a app on my smart phone. ill make a tube if you want. prime vs kessil hmmmm prime 50cmx50cm coverage with 35cm suitable for sps with a quick drop in par by depth and diameter. controlling the unit is super easy with no extra bits needed. kessil xtra controller for spectrum adjustments. better focus but poor coverage. no replacement parts for kessil. both require a mount. (easy to fab a bracket for the prime. little harder for kessil but still easy.

Christo Klopf - 8 years ago

+bruce phillips how does that work? And how would you compare two of these to two kessil a160we?

bruce phillips - 8 years ago

+Christo Klopf yep as a matter of fact i have 6 hooked up over my reef 400

HEY MY FRIEND , CAN YOU SHARING HOW YOU SETTING " THE LUNAR MODE" ??????????

sbazain - 8 years ago

awesome tank those are great lights great colors

Stephen Cornell - 8 years ago

I read that it has the ability to emulate the weather in your area, sunrise sun set and any storms or cloud cover, Is this true? Can you set it to automate those?

goxcpre - 8 years ago

So you know T5 bulbs are highly customizable with multi bulb fixtures and have a very even lighting with no shadows on corals like LED.

goxcpre - 8 years ago

+Jons Dragons Happy Reefing

goxcpre - 8 years ago

For sure. I just wanted to make that point since there has been a movement in the hobby from LED to LED T5 Hyrbids as the best lighting for SPS growth. LEDs are pretty amazing though and your fixture and tank are beautiful. I have a CREE DIY LED and a Tek T5 and like the ease of use of the LEDs but the growth of my T5s <3

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+goxcpre not as customizable as LED's that why i got the prime and why buy 10 different bulbs for a different look when you can just adjust the led intensity ?. but i knew that anyway thanks

Connie Liu - 8 years ago

I am researching this light for my mini reef 120 too. Thanks for sharing. It was very helpful. Are you still happy with the light?

Caleb Wong - 8 years ago

Hi, I see that part of the metal mounting bar is in contact with seawater, is there any corrosion problem?

Caleb Wong - 8 years ago

+Jons Dragons
Thanks for the advice. I have the same tank and am considering to switch to the AI Prime light.
I am concerned that the metal may go into the seawater and affect the corals.

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+Caleb Wong its aluminum and that does not rust over time i could/ might see some colour fading but it will not break. and plus their are only $40 so i can just get another one if need be

Shannon Montgomery - 8 years ago

can you share your ai prime settings?

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+Shannon Montgomery yes you can but i only know how to do it through email

John John - 8 years ago

What happens if your computer has a malfunction and breaks down? Does the light have a controller of it's own?

John John - 8 years ago

+Jons Dragons
Thank you.

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+John John no it saves it settings if nothing is connected to it as long as you have a smart device like a pc, phone or tablet you can use it. but i do believe there is a controller that you can buy for it

opti80 - 8 years ago

Hello. What are the dimensions of your tank?

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

Reefer Nanoman - 8 years ago

Nice tank! Check out my nanoreefs in my channel. Subscribed.

Kevin OKeefe - 8 years ago

Can you tell me the actual depth of you water I have a Red Sea reefer 170 which measures 23.5width 19 deep and 20 tall everyone says this light won't work but your tank is almost the same size The water level is set about 2 inches from the top so even tho it's 20 tall the actual water will be 18 Any thoughts are helpful

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago

+Kevin OKeefe my measurements of the tank are 24x18x18 inch the red sea reeder 170 will probs do the best with 2 ai primes on it rather than one

Gazi Sahil - 8 years ago

whats the measurement of your tank ?

Gazi Sahil - 8 years ago

I am making a tank like yours.. but tank will have 5inches sump behind

Jons Exotics - 8 years ago
