My tanks is 100 days old. I’m new at this and plan on having mostly softies and LPS (I have about 15-20 of them right now) but I also want to be able to try some SPS down the road, when I feel I am ready. And I want lights that will allow it.
My original plan was to start with 2 x AI Prime 16 HD and add 2 more after the tank had matured a bit. It’s still what I would like to do, but my actual setup is not really allowing it.
If you look at the pictures below, you‘ll notice there isn’t a lot of room to add another AInPrime on the left side, because the filter, skimmer and heater are taking about 35%-40% of the space. Then there is the thick rim (about 1,5 inch) that actually curves where it meets the middle brace, restricting space even more. It also means that whatever mount I use has to fit that width.
There is more space on the right side, but the ATO and heater take up space, and there is also the same curving rim problem.
I do not want to mount anything to the ceiling and I would like to keep using my 2 x AI Prime 16 HD. I already have 2 rigid mounts for the next 2.
What are my choices ? Anybody has a good idea ?
Thanks !
