Reef Breeders Vs Ai prime (2 Viewers)

[NorthStarCoral]

I currently have 3x Ai Prime 16HD’s above my shallow 76. I found a good deal on a reef breeders Photon V2 48.

Curious if anyone has experience with both lights. Considering swapping the primes out for the V2. I have other tanks I feel like the primes would be better suited for (nano tanks) however if the output on the V2 isn’t as high it wouldn’t make sense. I have softies, lps and sps. I like the shimmer the 3 lights offer. I also have a spare Hydra 52 I could add or swap one of the primes with but open to ideas!

I think the answer is probably measure with a par meter and confirm but I’d love to hear others experiences

Not so much about PAR as coverage. The coverage from the photon is infinitely better.

Awesome! That’s what I was hoping to hear.

I can echo that, ran primes, then moved to G5 Radions and then to get better spread moved to the Photon. Won't go back from Reefbreeders, great lights!
