I should have gotten a Hydra 32

[BullyBee]

I just tested out my saltwater light (a Prime 16 HD). I should have gotten the hydra. Now I have to get another Prime. I need (want) a 36” spread.

I'm on the same boat but I'm glad I didn't get the 26 or 32, instead I'm going to add another prime hd that way I get better spread and I can aim both which ever way I want. Just depends how you look at it. I'd rather have 2 primes than one 26,more flexibility.

Good Point

I have 3 primes on a RSR 250 with diffusers spread and coverage is perfect. Maxed out uv v b rb 15% r w g

Is it too late to return or exchange the light?
BRS has the most ideal and max spread available on each light which is super helpful :)

They make diffusers for the Prime?

3rd party vendor makes them.

Personal experience with the original Prime HD’s dictates that although a little more costly, 4 Prime HD’s are a smarter investment than (2) 32’s. In fact, BRS did a video comparison that shows the +/-.

It’s also what I use with an Aquatic Life hybrid T5. Which I don’t think you can do with the 32’s but I am not positive. Just my $.02

i have 4 32's over a 180. they are awesome. 2 vertical, 2 horizontal, maximum spread.

If you got the hydra 26 or 32 you could have gotten the reef brite xho f-26 upgrade that attaches to your light and could have got good spread and great par. Cant do that with the primes

Not out of the box but I've thought of 2 ai primes with 2 xho 15in on a custom mount. Would be an awesome set up for sure.
