Shawn Swaney: Pros -
Excellent brightness and spectrum coverage. I suggest using the AB+ preset (can be found on various forums and facebook groups)
Can grow the most difficult of corals if sized and spaced correctly
Fan runs as required, the puck is generally quiet
App is featureful once learned
Long cord makes routing easy
AI support is fantastic and responsive
Cons
Later firmware updates capped the maximum brightness (you used to be able to go significantly over 100%) This was done due to the lens burning out (the LED is fine, just the cover can become warped)
Even with firmware updates, the lens can still 'burn out' however, this is a minor and easy repair. AI has been incredibly responsive about sending replacements. So long as the unit is well ventilated , capped no higher than 100% brightness and cleaned, you shouldn't encounter this issue.
Other thoughts -
I highly recommend purchasing the diffuser shroud from 3D reefing. It will lower the peak brightness a bit, but it blends the spectrum and lowers the 'discoball' effect.

Jordan BirkettJordan Birkett: I would HIGHLY recommend the AI prime for any of my fellow reefers, the tank I have this on is a JBJ RL45 and it has the perfect span for the whole tank. Light is super bright. Haven’t added corals or fish since just getting this tank set up, but so far great quality. You can adjust the lighting in the app for the deep blues or white lights, many different varieties as far as settings
