Thanks for doing this video. Just picked up an AI Prime 16 for a new nano frag tank. Your info was very helpful
I’m setting up one of these in my office for my shrimp who were viciously attacked in my big tank. They’re living in my sump currently. Lol! I’m getting a 12 inch AI blade for my tank. I’m going to print two brackets to attach to the ends and use some hooks and wires to hang the light from the ceiling
Cool to see you interacting with your tank, mate. Cool vid.
Wow! Nice video my friend good info that I’ve been fighting for along time thank you and keep those videos coming and happy reefing
Great content been thinking of getting this aquarium as I’ve been outta the hobby for years so any advice is golden thank you 🙏 keep the content coming
I always use primes. I tend to use the kelvin scale though. I like 12000-16000k at 45% myself with the moonlights at zero.
I’ve got this exact tank and light setup but different filtration. Had it for a little over a year. I’ve got 4 zoa colonies
2 Duncan colonies. A lepto and an acan. All are doing amazing and I get about 2-4 new polyps a week with the zoas. I’ve been prepping for a while and I’m adding my first acro after Christmas if this year. I’ve had a monti do great in the tank for about 6 months and I removed it because it Grew to quickly for the tank.
Nice and informative video. I would be interested in an update on the Evo and what upgrades and stock you have. Thanks!
Where can I find the settings for this schedule??
Would it be possible to do a video on sump setup on this tank? There are varying opinions on how it should be done. Really enjoy the content 👍🏻
As in the rear filtration section? I'll be doing one soon ish, just need to figure out nutrients first...
Yes the section on the side of the tank. As I said there are various opinions on its setup (position of the heater, chamber 1 and 2 setup etc). Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers 👍🏻
Tengo un tanque muy parecido, con la misma configuración de sump. Primero está la bajada de 1" dónde tengo canutillos cerámicos, el agua pasa por la parte de abajo a la segunda sección (la parte de en medio dónde tengo un skimmer qq2 de bubble Magus) y por último pasa el agua por la parte de hasta arriba al área de la bomba de retorno dónde tengo más material filtrante.
Thanks! You helped me a lot!!
Would the reading the different when the pump is on? What would the PAR be with the pump on like how it is 99% of the time?
If you have the flow on, the movement just makes the reading jump around so it's harder to read.
😂😂 I definitely don’t believe you will never touch that light or setting again! 😬🤣
I bought myself a parwise meter today and checked the par levels on my own fluval evo with this light. And mounted on the same bracket at its highest setting. Its not giving me the readings you have specified. Parkers reef did a par test with a seneye and got readings double than that compared to the opogee par meter. Please could you do a revised video with a different par meter. I think it would help people out alot .
You blew it. Perfect opportunity to review Fluval Nano Marine light… 😢
And easily 1/2 the price. Still feel it’s a viable option for budget Nano reef build…
Does the fluval grow torches and hammers
Cool!
Could you maybe make a link of your settings so we can download it to our light? That would be awesome!
Don't think I can on here I'm afraid
Just a quick question would you have been better getting a Red Sea max nano taking into account all the upgrades you’ve added to the fluval….not trying to be a smart arse 😂
😅 Fair question! This still works out quite a lot cheaper and I really like the dimensions. But I also wanted to show that this can be done cheaply and that you can still easily upgrade it so it can grow with you if you want to improve it 🙂
What size tank do you have? I have two ai prime 16s set up on a 54 gallon Red Sea. I’m new to reefs. All lps and softies. Dosing daily, feeding corals every other day. Fish every day. Just want the best light setup I can have for them. Are your parameters in this video good for the 54 gallon Red Sea 250 with two lights?
It's a Fluval Evo 13.5. 2 Primes on your setup is absolutely fine.
Thank you so much
What is the powerhead you have in the tank? Also is the magnet in the back filtration?
It's a jecod slw-10. The 'dry' side magnet is in the filter section, but I've used a Tunze magnet for that part - I wasn't sure about the jecod one...
How are you getting on with the fluval evo 13.5? Would you recommend this tank?
Really like it - quite restrictive for fish choices cos it's small but it's very easy to maintain
I know you're busy but do you think one A1 would be good to add to 2 reef photons on a reef habitat 90 I do have a video of the tank on my you tube my water chemistry is ok the lfs said but I'm not getting much growth on corals wondering if a extra light would help lol
It's a good light but changing lights is rarely the solution to problems in a reef tank...
@@ReefDorkXtra I've just tested my water chemistry and nitrate is a bit high everything else is on par I'm starting to get disheartened by the whole hobby lol
Nice video question please, i have the ai prime 16 hd.
On the ramp time does the light only have a ramp up no ramp down
I notice at the end of the schedule the light just goes off, thats not right is it, i thought there would be a ramp down.
You can make it ramp down - just set it up in the schedule the same way you do in the morning
@ReefDorkXtra thanks for your help, much appreciated
I need help!! I have two prime 16 on a 36 gal bow front and need to know best settings for coral and anemones
Check out the BRS videos but don't sweat it too much - the settings I use are a good start point for you. If you can get a par meter, it'll help you set the intensity.
Could you share your setting please
You need at least 4 percent red and green
Anyway you can send the presets? Or link them in the description?
Don't think that's possible I'm afraid :(
i have some of my blues upwards of 80% on the same tank is this too high?
As per my other message, but best way to find out is rent a par meter or buy one 2nd hand and sell it when you're done with it.
Hi I have 120 ltr tank and my ai hd is set to 80% blues 10% white uv 40 red green 0 is this to much do u think ?
Depends on the dimensions but that's probably about right. It might be a bit high up top - buy a 2nd hand seneye par meter if you can. You'll probably be able to sell it for what you paid after you've finished.
Thanks m8 it’s the aqua one mini reef 120
Where can we download this schedule?
Don't think it's possible to share schedules I'm afraid 🙁
How many hours a day are you running this?
12
What's the depth of the tank because I have the same lights for redsea 250 but of course 2 of them. Would you know the settings for this size of tank for LPS?
I don't have a PAR metre.
About 30cm I think. I couldn't accurately scale these settings up to a tank that big I'm afraid. But better to err on the side of caution - too little light is better than too much...
@@ReefDorkXtra will this light setting work with a 54 litre tank
@@kevinwhite1077 yes, this is 53L according to Fluval
@@ReefDorkXtra ok
Don't the corals need the red and green
Nope
Awesome. Can you come check my tank. :). Can you advise what meter you are using. My LPS is getting to much light.
Seneye Reef par meter
You not touch a light set up! Naawwww never lol
😁
Literally the first thing I thought when reef dork said that. Yeah right. Never alter them....
