Prime 16HD: Redefining Aquarium Lighting
HD Power
The Prime 16HD reimagines how power is distributed across its channels. Instead of being limited to a fixed amount per channel, it dynamically reallocates power, borrowing from unused colors to maximize the output of active channels. This innovation allows for the most vivid and customized spectrum your tank has ever experienced.

HD Spectrum
The Prime 16HD offers a virtually limitless number of spectral combinations to suit your aquarium's unique requirements. Tailor the spectrum to create the perfect environment for coral growth, coloration, and overall tank health.

Dedicated Moonlight
A dedicated moonlight channel provides the ability to simulate natural lunar color and intensity, offering a serene nighttime aesthetic and aiding in the natural behaviors of your tank's inhabitants.

Built-in Smart Control
All AI devices, including the Prime 16HD, come with intuitive smart control as a standard feature:

myAI® App: Customize, schedule, and manage your lights on iOS or Android.
Mobius App: Simplify device configuration and operation.
Neptune Fusion: Integrate seamlessly with Apex systems via the MXM module for advanced control options.
The Prime 16HD combines cutting-edge power management, customizable spectra, and user-friendly control to deliver an unparalleled lighting solution for any aquarium. Whether you're focused on vibrant coral growth or maintaining a balanced ecosystem, the Prime 16HD is designed to meet your needs with precision and style.

Initial Care Instructions

Once your coral arrives, float the sealed bag in your aquarium for 15–20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then, begin a drip acclimation process or slowly add small amounts of tank water to the bag every 5 minutes over 30–45 minutes.

2. Inspect and Dip:

Before placing the coral in your tank, inspect it for pests or hitchhikers. We strongly recommend using a coral dip solution to remove potential parasites or algae. Follow the dip instructions carefully and rinse with clean saltwater before introducing to your display.

3. Placement:

Start the coral in a low to moderate light and flow area to help reduce stress. Over the next week, gradually move it to its ideal lighting and flow conditions based on species needs.

4. Monitor Water Parameters:

Ensure stable water parameters (alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, etc.) and maintain good tank flow. Watch closely for signs of stress or tissue recession and adjust placement if necessary.

5. Patience Pays Off:

Corals often take a few days to fully open up after shipping. Give them time to adjust—avoid sudden lighting changes or overhandling during this period.
