Mozby's Reef Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi All, Totally new to the hobby here. I bought the AI Prime HD as it seemed provide excellent performance for the price point. However, I was disappointed to see the finish look so bad. It looked all scuffed up and gives the impression that its used or just had poor build quality. The seal on the package was not broken and I got confirmation from BRS that it was new. I also had them send a replacement after they had agreed the finish looked bad (based on pics I sent). But the second one looked bad too. For those who only care about the performance of the product and not the look, I can respect that... but I was hoping they could've at least make it look nice for $200 (totally understand that is considered cheap in the reefing world). Does anyone else notice the poor finish of the AI Prime or did I just get a bad batch? Thanks. Quote Link to comment

That's how I have understood it. Anyone else vouch for this before I pull the trigger on the prime HD for my evo 13.5? I have a hotspot on my phone to use to connect but running a connection 24/7 isn't an option so I'm hoping I only need for set up and programming 😅 Quote Link to comment

Hope that makes sense. ps this thread is three years old. 😉 Quote Link to comment

Once your setup, you'll likely not connect to it again for a long time Quote Link to comment
