Hey guys so I got my Ai prime HD yesterday and im using the brs settings, i use to run current marine orbit not the pro, i have 2 birdsnest coral, few zoa, 1 toad stool, hammer coral and war coral

And also got water test today but only nitrate and phosphate, nitrate at 10ppm and phosphate at 0.03
Should i do a water change? I was planning on doing it today cuz im bored its due next week

Congrats on the new light! You'll like it a lot.
You water parameters actually look pretty good. You could still do a water change. Wouldn't hurt at all

Are you running only 1 AI prime for the 20 gallon long and how is it doing for spectrum spread?
Also can you post a picture of your tank with the light on it as im leaning towards buying the AI Prime for my new 20gallon long, but not sure if i need 2 of them or 1.
Ps post a picture of your tank with the light on it please (just want to get a perspective of how it looks)

Thanks in advance!!

Sorry for late reply but here are some pics when I just had single prime, It did the job just fine but I really dont have any acros or many sps, but my digis were growing and some encrusting montis were also growing, but now im running 2 primes 20190727_200725.jpg 20190730_212448.jpg

Now with 2 Ai prime the showings are gone and get better coverage, but I was tight on budget and 1 prime worked then i got another, or maybe those hybrid t5 fixtures and just add a led down the road if you want is also a good option

Hey! I know I'm a little late to the party, but I was just wondering if you kept BRS' spectrum for both lights or did you change it any? I hope the tank is still up and running and looking good!
