Hi All,
Been a while! Hope everyone is doing great. So, looking to change lights. Currently I have a AIO tank. 15x12x12 with a 1st gen AI prime (non-HD). I installed it back in 2017. Messed with it over the years but getting increasingly unhappy so looking to change it. I was leaning towards a 24" T5 4 bulb set up but trying to figure out how to contain the spillover since the light would hang over 5ish inches on either side. I figured I could build a hood/shield out of black plex but I'm not sure if this is the right option. I have been watching the BRS videos and it looks like the new Prime 16HD would be a vast improvement and probably a similar price point ($200) to having to buy a T5 and bulbs and build. Thoughts? Currently just have a couple SPS, 3 hammers and some zoas. Wanting to add some more of all of these.
Cheers!
Adam
