Welcome to Reef2Reef!!! Some have transitioned to the AI Prime - if you search the build forums for "Evo 13.5 lights" or "Evo 13.5 mods" you will find various approaches. Good luck with whatever you choose!

Welcome to R2R! Sorry, but I am not able to answer your question, but I am sure someone will be able to.

Sorry for the algae

Welcome to R2R! Ai Prime is common. I run the stock light myself and with that coral list you will likely be alright.

AI prime has worked great. Having to manually turn on/off the Evo light was a pain for me, especially going out of town

Another issue is where I had room to place the tank. It gives me very little room to work on it,and taking the lid off becomes difficult since the wiring limits where I can move it when I need to do work on it.

Hello and welcome aboard the reefing train! For an evo 13.5 one AI prime would work wonders!

Welcome!

I hear you with the lid. That thing was driving me crazy any time I needed to get in the tank. AI Prime and a mesh top is the way to go.
