Aqua Illumination Prime light

madd186 · 01/09/2016, 09:08 PM

We have a 30g tank (20" wide x 14" deep x 18" tall.) we currently have a 30w Skype Light that has been shorting out for a few months. We are interested in replacing it with an Aqua Illumination Prime Led light but concerned that it's not enough for our tank. Will our corals and fish do okay with this smaller light? Is it worth the price or is there something else we should consider? We're also looking at the Kessil A160 but like the additional options the AI light gives (wifi, colors, more programming capabilities.)

I had a 18" cube with a prime and it was sufficient for sps. Should be ok with your tank.

I have two primes on my tank and I don't have them turned up as far as they can go. I agree, they should be fine.
