AI Prime HD on a 14 gallon biocube

[classklown90]

Would this be okay for a 14g Biocube? I currently have sps, zoas and a few lps and they are doing great. I have a Steve's led retrofitted in the hood that is only blue white at 44w but the light is 3 or 4 years old and sometimes has a slight flicker with the blues. The Ai Prime HD appears to be 55w and has a full spectrum including UV but I was hoping to hear or see some examples of it growing sps.

Thank you, I think I'm going to order one after seeing his tank. Everything looks great

Get it used on here if possible. I found a local reefer who gave me it for $140 with hanging kit. It was 3 months used with 6months sitting on a shelf

I'm getting mine new only because I need it asap, the blue channel on my current lie how in and out but I appreciate the info. That's one heck of a deal you got lol. I'm also buying a mp10qd for the tank so I figure I'll just get it all at once

Yeah man lol I have someone else's setting from R2R set up for SPS and so far it's been working well. I tweaked a thing or 2 so far bc I wanted more white but other than that it's great. That milli is happy as helllllll right now haha

I'll try and send it to ya but this one is a little hard to tinker with.. it's so complex, like it had to have taken this guy a few hours to do this one lol

Here's what it looks like lol

If you have an iPhone this is easiest. Download the OneDrive app. Download the light schedule [emoji652]️
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Akco_cmvvLNrgZhvhMItJgGOhOTNVg
Then when you're in the app and have the file opened, click on the share button and if you already have the "MyAI" app downloaded, there should be a button saying "copy to MyAI"
After that go into the AI app, go to the "control" button and then click on the [emoji294]️, then hit "select preset" and it should be there

I have one on my IM10 that works well. I have a single SPS that's been growing since I put it in there. Everything else has been growing very fast. The color it puts out is really pretty.

What do you intend to grow in there? I had a Fluval for a coral qt and it did so well that I turned it into a nano. I thought the stock leds were amazing, I had significant growth on all my Softies and lps coral and even a little bit of growth on plating and encrusting coral. I also had sps in there for several weeks (elevated of course l) and they looked well. Now it has mostly lps and softies. How do you like the skimmer? It works but I find it to be way too loud. I am also getting salt creep around it.
