AI Prime 16 HD

“I had an AI prime 16hd on my 20 gallon for about one year and I eventually realized that it was not good enough. So I upgraded to XR 15, which I run at 50% (with diffuser).”

“I’ve had great growth from mine over a Waterbox 20.”

“I had better growth with my old viparspectra 165w light than I do with my 2 new AI prime 16hd hands down.. but yes the colours look better with AI prime”

“Yeah I run a 16HD , it’s okay , the torches and Kenya tree grow quickly but anything on the sandbed is a bit slow”

“I run AI Prime 16HD's on my Fluval Evo tanks, they do really well with SPS / nems.”

“I bought a used AI Prime 16HD off ebay and it was barely pushing out 150 PAR.”

“I had one on a Fluval Flex 15 which is almost identical in dimensions to your tank and growth was great, the app is super easy to use and there's always a strong used market for them so resale is good unlike the Chinese lights.”

“I'm running an ai prime 16HD on a 20gal with a green bta on it, seems to be doing ok.”

“Lights, I strongly recommend against 16HD’s. The reason being, if you run these lights closer to their max level, the light lens will start to melt under the “UV” diode.”

“I have a pair of AI 16HD on my 12 long and I have to agree the shimmer is better with the kessils tank, I do really like the sunrise/sunset effect and moonlight on the AIs so it’s a trade off imo.”

“My problem is that I realized I can never achieve coloration that I want unless I get better lights than my prime 16hd. I upgraded last week and never been happier.”

“AI prime 16HD is a super good light, I’m running 3 on 57g my 3’ x 2’ shallow reef at about 50% and I get some decent shimmer with the lights mounted about 11in off the waters surface with minimal rainbow effect and with 3 I have very minimal shadowing.”

“I have two prime 16hd over a 17 gallon and 30% is the max before my torch start retracting. You might need like 20-25% The good news is they are quiet and last longer at such a low output.”

“I have the 16HD over one tank, and a hipargero 100w over a second tank. I have to admit, if I had to do this over again, I’d go with the hipargero for both tanks.”

“I have a 16HD over my 50g cube and it can pretty much grow anything.”

“I got an AI Prime 16HD and my growth went crazy since getting it. I have a cheap $60 black box light off of eBay that was decent, but pathetic compared to what I have now”

“I ran the little white Prime 16HD to start but it wasn’t even enough so I added two little Kessil lights on both sides of that.”

“I think the biggest issue with the primes is shadowing. Having LED’s in a small circle just doesn’t cut it for sps. With that being said, I think you can achieve a lot with ai primes. I am happy with mine! 2 Ai Prime 16HD’s over a 40 gal Recife.”

“I actually prefer it over an AI Prime 16hd I have on a tank I just cycled. I just like the blue.”

“If your tank is wider go with two ai prime 16hd's. I have two of them on another tank and they also lock ass.”

“you’re really risking your light with that plastic screw holding the arm on. Ask me how I know lol, RIP my AIPrime 16HD”

“Scam company. Purchased the 16hd reef used it for a month had to move gave away all my livestock and put the light in the box, 4 years later just got it out of the box have been using it on a planted tank for the past week, I updated it last night. Woke up to completely dead light no response. Planned obsolescence f that”

“I upgraded and don't regret it. The ai prime 16hd is great. Do it!”

“I run an AI Prime 16hd and can never get it right.”
