AI Prime Fuge

[Kelsea]

I’m really impressed and excited to share my refugium growth with the community!
I added the light to my tank in the middle of July and soon after started documenting the algae growth. This is in the sump of a Waterbox Peninsula 7226.
I have A LOT of fish in this tank, meaning I feed very heavily. I’m super excited because this is a great natural way to reduce nitrates and phosphates in the water.
The pictures below shows the growth over a couple months. I’ve included my schedule at the bottom incase anyone is looking for a good one! Also- I use the Reef Dudes Prime Shaping Visors which helps keep algae from growing in unwanted places. Check the visors out in the link below:

Wow, nice growth! It's great to see more competition in the fuge light market since there were not many good options for so long. I've been considering switching over from my H80 to this light so thanks for sharing!

Used to never be able to grow chaeto. I'm glad I got this light. It's great! This hobby is expensive so why settle for cheap lights in the fuge.

Couldn't agree more. I wanted the H380 but didn't have the vertical space for it so I went with the H80 because of the low profile but it was hard to stomach $130 for a 15 watt light.

Glad to hear people are having success with the Prime HD since it would fit my setup and has more bang for the buck. Plus I like AI lights.

Are you still using this and is it sufficient at reducing and or maintaining levels on its own? I am on a knife edge as whether to buy one. Can I ask how much you feed to your tank? (Cubes/pellets/flakes per day) does the light you have keep your levels low enough per photoperiod.
Apologies for all the questions, only all the reviews for this are very lacking in detail and objectivity.
