what about the led comes with the tank is it not sufficient to grow easy corals? i am thinking of getting this same tank but not sure why many people on youtube added new lights instead of using oem
/// AMG the stock led is good for easy to care for corals like acans , zoas , mushrooms and other low light corals . I upgraded myself because I wanted to keep montipora and a clam . I also don’t like having to take off the hood every time I do something to the tank because it drips water every where . I also think other LED like the ai prime 16HD brings out the best colors and you can tune it to how u like your tank to look visually.
Just got this light too, I had a used kessil on it before but my corals did not like it because they are very withdrawn even after a 7 days acclimation starting at 25% and plus I had to buy a controller too. I wished I would have done better research and just gotten this light because it can be controlled from your phone. So true, my advice to anyone is don't go cheap, just buy what you need and buy it new too. Hey I bought a wal-mart small fan that just fits and works great to cool the tank. Also recommend to anyone, buy a temp controller, on Amazon it is like 40 bucks and you just set it and I have never had to worry about temp.
Garry Cole I was debating on getting the kessil or the AI as well and so far I’m happy with the AI :) I got the Bayite temp controller on amazon and a small fan too . Do u have a fluval evo also ?
@@twinbeatz1 , Yes I started my tank about 3 months ago and at first I said I am going to just use the stock items, turn out I am just using the tank. I am trying to get the chambers to flow better, it gets slowed down a lot and I did plug up the little hole too. Any ideas?
@@twinbeatz1 , The first chamber I had a filter pad, purigen, then carbon and some ceramic bio-media down at the very bottom. I blocked off the top fins to force water through the pad and media. The second chamber , I have a few ceramic bio-media at the bottom and I cut the bottom of the sponge pad that came with the evo and have cheato there. The light for the cheato is against the glass on the outside since I didn't want something else to contribute heat to the tank. The last chamber is the return pump and heater as well as where my ATO water comes into. It kept on getting blocked in the first chamber so I took out the carbon and purigen and just use the white less dense filter portion of the filter pad. So far (a couple of days) it has kept the flow moving.
Great video!
Wahlooo Gamer thank u !
Best light for the money!!!
Michael Boyd this light is amazing 👌🏽 one of my best purchase so far !

Hey quick question after i downlod the preset and select it on the app does it automatically start working ?
As long as you set it as your schedule, it should start working

@@twinbeatz1 thanks for info. so i should be okay with just stock led with a few easy corals and 2x nemo fish and 1x red shrimp 😎😊
/// AMG no problem! :) corals like stability and some feeding will also help them grow faster. What corals do u have ?
Hi! could i ask for the brand of your fan in the video? it looks good with the ai prime mount
It’s a small fan I got on Amazon . Here’s the link : SkyGenius Battery Operated Clip... www.amazon.com/dp/B01FFWG0I8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
How’s the tank looking now ? Update please 🙏🏿
Looking great! 🔥
how high do you have your light mounted
Is that not too noisy? At least at 80% of max power?
Not noisy for me , the tank is pretty silent. I have it near my bed and have no issues .
Hi
Are you still running the David Saxby setting?
How do you adjust the light intensity down?
In the light setting, use two fingers to drag down the intensity
@@twinbeatz1 how is it doing with your coral. Any bleaching?
@@minhhuynh5046 no bleaching so far
Hi any chance of you sending me your light settings I’m really new to this and have no clue lol
I got it from the ai signature series online .
Where did you get the mesh tank lid?
I made it myself with a screen frame kit from Home Depot :)
I made a DIY on how to make one as well

Do you remember the exact dimensions you cut?
philooch I don’t but I can measure it real quick

It’s the David saxby schedule and I have UV at 44% , V at 53%, RY at 82%, B at 77%, G at 6%, DR at 7%, ML at 0% and CW at 26%

@@Nano-eq8kn no problem:) good luck!

southwest_reefer thanks 😊
What schedule are you running and intensity?
Omar Velazquez David Saxby schedule and lower the intensity to 70 percent
EASY REEFING thanks
Omar Velazquez no problem 😁
@@twinbeatz1 How do you lower the intensity to 70%?
@@vibol711 when you are on your light schedule, you drag two fingers down and it will lower the intensity of the entire schedule .
Precio?
Awesome video. How high above the waterline do you have the light? Thanks
I have it 9.5 inches above the water

Garry Cole sounds good 👍🏾 u upgrades the return pump as well?
Would you be able to make me the same lid?
Hey could you make me a mesh lid like yours? I have the same Fluval 13.5. I'll pay you and pay for the shipping if you are interested.
I can’t make it , sorry . But I have a video on how to make it if you are interested. It’s affordable and easy
