The below discussion is in reference to a6 ft 180 tank to home 75% + sticks and likely no softies.
After much research and past experience I know I don’t want MH because chillers are a PITA. In keeping with a minimalistic concept I’m looking at the AI primes, I picked up a prime today and love the adjustability and control. Cooling isa great factor also. I’m leaning towards a 5 unit staggered design over the 6 foot span of my 180. Along with this I want to order 2 mp40 ph’s for the length and 2 mp10s on the back wall. I’m pretty sure I’m going to order all of the above in the next 24 hours but wanted to hear experienced opinions on similar setups prior to cashing out. GO!!!
Also, BRS seems to be 3-5% higher across the board. Nemo and friends had primes for $210 today. Is there a better deal out there that I’m not yet aware of?
edit: at $150 extra would I not be better off just getting 4 mp40’s And dialing them back. That would give me backups if one had issues.
