Peeps. Slowly going to start a seahorse tank. It’s going to have macro algae red mangrove and some gsp and Kenya tree corals. Can an ai prime saltwater take care of the plants with the lights? Or do I need the fresh water version? Thanks

You just need to make sure the red and green spectrum is being used also. Other than that just make sure everything is able to be in the same temp as seahorse are.

So with the plants. Just have a higher red and green spectrum?

Not sure about the green tbh, I know the red promotes algae growth though.
