Ai prime on fluval flex 32

[Isiah1820]

I have a fluval flex 32G tank the dimension are 32.5 x 15.35 x 15.75". Would I benefit from having a second prime light? I noticed the corners are kinda dark and I don’t want to be stuck with only putting corals in the middle. Also is the depth of the the ok to put corals lower or on the sand bed?

Yea you can add another 16hd.
On my 18" 20g nano cube I run 2 and grow acros on the bottom.
Tank just turned 7 months.

Beautiful tank. I’m about a month and a half in. And ok cool I just order it. Would I have to light acclimated since it will double the output when I add another?

Always a good idea. What is your current setting?

I use one of the presets from their website.

Thats a pretty week setting so I dont think you will shock anything when you add #2.

I was thinking that idk if it’s showing those levels for 8pm or that’s the highest it’s set. Like I said I used the pre program maybe I did it wrong. Can you post a screenshot of your settings ?

Mine is for an acro dominant system.

Any pointers for my settings? I’m running a mixed reef. Also have some nems.

I would drop the first 4, on my settings, to 80% and keep the others the same. This should be a decent starting point.
1hr ramp up/down and 10hrs at peak.
You can then adjust the first 4 up over time if needed.

Just go in and setup your own schedule. I do have one 16hd, running the same setting in my 30g remote fuge. Currently no macro as its all in my 45's sump now.
With that said I picked up a anemome for my clown pair.
The anemone likes my original settings.

Got the other light on. Should I bring them down or is that low enough.

I run mine at 10" off the waters surface.
