Ai prime light settings

[jadedog]

Im having lots of trouble with my ai primes I have a Marine x 90.3 36L x W18 X H22. I have mainly softies and a few lps. I know these lights are kinda underpowered for this size tank which is why im focusing on softies and lps i have two ai primes. Im kinda debating on buying a par meter at this point its hard to find people using ai primes with a deep tank like mine. I was running blues at like 98% but I feel like I needed to increase it so I switched it to 116%. If anyone has a suggestions I'll happily take them into consideration. I've used presets off the website but most are entirely different lights and tank dimensions.

I don’t think primes will get that deep. I tried them over a 180g (24”d)and the reading at the bottom was in the 20s.

Get a 32 or 64hd. One light that’ll get that depth.

If this is the issue would it be dumb to max them out until I can get a new light? I'll look into new lights tonight.

I personally wouldn’t. Shorten the life of the fixture and possibly burn the lenses.
