Been running an AI Prime fuge LED over my roughly 15”x15” fuge (first section in my Trigger Systems Triton 34 sump) for my 75 gallon display. I dose 3000mls of kalk through an Avast Marine K1 stirrer at night. My AI Prime fuge light parted ways with the “working” class, and had to take offline, to be replaced by an Amazon full spectrum Fuge light. It’s pulling about 150w from the wall, and has a tremendous affect on PH. Really happy with current PH. Not happy about how long it took me to figure out.

New fuge online at red arrow…

I had this exact light, be advised its not. bad given the price, the body is rust resistant, the bolts and other parts are not, mine rusted
Thanks… yea, I saw some reviews on that. Not terribly concerned and I will keep an eye on things. May put some sort of glue over all the bolts. It was a bit of an experiment due to price point, but knowing what the extra power does to PH, I’m happy with the outcome.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
