Quick AI Prime 16 question for a new reef tank.

No corals yet — just copepods and clean-up crew.

I’m trying to keep the light low to avoid algae, but still make the tank look good.

Thinking:

RB 25 / B 25 / W 5

Everything else 0

5–6 hours/day

Light about 9–11” above the water

Is this a good starting point, or would you run it differently?

Any suggestions or help as much appreciated. Looking to get some AI prime 16 HD settings for a pico tank, 5 gallon with most Liza’s that will be placed. Any custom presets anybody could share would be very helpful.

Dusting off my AI Prime was probably not a good idea over my tank 😄. Will have to take my lights down at night and properly clean them. My AIs have been running strong for 4 years now!

First Nano Reef Tank - 20gal AIO Cube

How do you like my hardscape?

In the cycle phase. Any tips for my AI Prime 16HD? Obviously, not going to have all this white light. Planning to have a mixed reef with some anenomies. Typical Clown Fish and friends.
