I ended up going with the ai prime 16 HD. I got a decent deal on one second hand from a local reefer. My major deciding factors were the future proofing (who knows what I will want to use it for in the long term) and the controllability (it is much nicer than a kessil in that regard--- I have a kessil a360we on another system). It's probably overkill, but I like that it can be controlled with no other hardware.
Now that said, what color profiles do you guys run to make the zoas really pop?
I have another tank that I keep at 10-14k-ish (closer to daylight) but in this tank I really want to make my rocks look like they are covered in fluorescent Skittles. People can make fun of me for having a tank full of Windex. This is my fun zoa nano.
I had a waterbox 10 about the same size with a prime 16 and ran royal blue (the darker one) and violet at 45%, other blue 35% 12 hrs, red/green 3% (5-6 hrs), uv 10% (5/6 hrs) and whites for only about 4 hours at like 5%. The look youre looking for i would run in the evening. Just royal blue, violet and the other blue still on where they have been all day. Then the last hour or so just the royal blue (and violet if you want)
I started at 25% and raised it in about 5% increments btw.
That was color profile, now for your question on pop... reefbrites lol.
