Review: Better Than Kessils? - While I’ll admit I do love my Kessils on the reef tank I tried their Tuna Sun series for my 240g planted tank but I didn’t like the color spectrum even with their 1990’s controller. The app and color adjustability of the Primes are absolutely perfect for mid-high light set ups. The only downside is the adjustable mounts as they are definitely not designed well. Edited, while I still love the look of these lights there is a visual difference between two lights. I tried everything that Aquaillumination recommended having to exchange. I will edit again if the new lights match when paired.
Review: Had hoped this light came with mounted arm. - This light is all that and more. Though I have not had it long enough to know if this light is good for my planted freshwater tank. Gives multiple options for color options. Adjustable brightness and the price point is on target. Absolutely love!! I am using on my 20 gallon tank. I do wish it came with a mounted arm. This light sits on my glass cover.

### ⭐⭐ Better Than Kessils?
*by H***T on April 27, 2024*

While I’ll admit I do love my Kessils on the reef tank I tried their Tuna Sun series for my 240g planted tank but I didn’t like the color spectrum even with their 1990’s controller. The app and color adjustability of the Primes are absolutely perfect for mid-high light set ups. The only downside is the adjustable mounts as they are definitely not designed well.

This light is all that and more. Though I have not had it long enough to know if this light is good for my planted freshwater tank. Gives multiple options for color options. Adjustable brightness and the price point is on target. Absolutely love!! I am using on my 20 gallon tank. I do wish it came with a mounted arm. This light sits on my glass cover.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Software Issues and having to Return to Company
*by O***Z on January 1, 2025*

While setting up for my macroalgae tank which I've heard this light is highly recommended. The firmwall wouldn't update and would fail. I got in contact with the manufacture and they wanted me to return it to them to see what is going on. While researching this issues I have found that this is common with other customers which is discouraging. However, I'm going to wait for the manufacturer to send me a new one and I'll update this review.
