I ran in to a fellow reefer last nite. He turned me on to these lights for a bio cube. I did do some reading they sound good. You know that if it sounds good it might be. Has a fellow reefer have some experience with these lights. The price is one of a kind for a led. We will have to see. Any input would be great. Once again thank yo for all the help . Chris

Im running three on my 58 gallon with t5 supplment been running them for only a couple months now but like them alot. Getting good growth on all corals new heads on zoas etc.
One thing i do not like about them is that ai orginially came out and said they were giving out 500 par at a depth of 12" and later came out and changed that claim.

For the price and controllability it is a good value. The mount is affordable but it takes some fiddling and sometimes mods to hold it at the angle you want.

I prefer the blended light of the kessil a160 a little better but the prime has a fuller spectrum with red and green. It also is way mor customizable. Right now I own both and haven't decided which to keep yet. I don't need all the bells and whistles so I may keep the kessil.
WELL PUFF DADDY, WHICH WAY DO IO GO ,,,,,WHICH WAY DO I GO THEY BOTH WILL DO THE JOB WELL ,,,,, THE ONLY THING ABOUT THE a160 DOES NOT TELL ME ABOUT GROWTH IN THE TANK. I LIKE BOTH I THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. I WILL LET YOU KNOW IS IT THE KESSIL OR THE AI . THANKS ONCE AGAIN

FWIW I have one on a 10g cube and I hate mine. The color blend is awful, discoball galore, too chaotic of shimmer, and coral coloration is great for softies and LPS, but not for SPS.
To get the color looking nice you have to turn the whites down so much that I feel it inhibits strength for growth. I would never buy another one and wish I got the Maxspect Razor Nano. I have a 27" maxspect and absolutely love it.

I would, but the 10g, 16g, and 5g are all planned to turn into a 75g sooner than later anyways.

Here is my A160 review. I haven't posted my comparison to the prime yet but trust me, you will be happy with the A160. Especially if you want simplicity.
