Ai prime for 125g

sharkreef · Feb 20, 2016

Would anyone suggest this light for a 125 ?

On a 125 I would go with the hydra 52's or the 26. I'm currently using 2 primes on a 29 gallon just so I can get less shadowing.

What are the dimensions of the 125?

I think they are great little lights! I would recommend 6 of them for a 72" tank. I have 5 on mine, on a 60x22x18 and they grow everything. And I only have them on 70% with whites half of that... so there's more in them depending on what color spectrum you want to run. I have them around 15k. I should note, I also have the lights mounted as high as they will go on the brackets.

I know a lot of people complain about the published PAR numbers, but my PAR meter and coral tell a different story. Here's mine with 5 of the Primes:
