      Prime HD reviews

      I'm looking for some reviews on the prime Hd. Who's got one and what is your review, what do you have growing under it. I'm thinking about picking one up for a small 15g tank.

      I had one drama I hated it bro
      Light was super weak even thou they advertised extra power it really wasn't


      I would go with

      Aquatic life halo
      Gen 4 xr15

      Used xr30 gen 2 or 3 can find them cheap now


      Please don't do the prime

      Interesting, I've had mine running for about 3 weeks. I have no complaints, but then again I can't compare it to the more expensive lights recommended in the previous post.

      How is the wifi controlability of the light? How would a Kessel 160 compare?
      Xr15 is appealing, separate reef link purchase...not so much

      I just installed two of them on my tank. They replaced an Aqauticlife 6 bulb T5 and could not be happier. These lights are bad ass for what they are and the size. Controls are a breeze once connected to wifi , had a little bit of trouble doing that , couldn't get both to connect together first time around. I'm still trying to dial in a schedule I like. Would highly recommend these light to anyone !

      I've got one regular prime on my 50 corner. Had it on my 25 cube before. The primes are great lights in my experience. I have questioned how much stronger the HD really is though. Maybe we will get a side-by-side at MACNA?!
