Thanks -

yes I had the AI Prime from my previous tank (IM 25 Lagoon). Absolutely loved the Prime but it wouldn’t have been large enough for my new tank...so I went with the LED90. It’s a nice light but I wasn’t as impressed by it like I was with the Prime. I decided to supplement the LED90 and hang it in front at a backward facing angle to try and illuminate the top and front of the rock. When I get a proper camera and filter setup I’ll take some shots with and without the prime on.
