Aqua Illumination AI Prime Mounting & Accessories
Official mounting accessories for the AI Prime 16HD — flex arms, hanging kits, tank mounts, and the replacement power supply. The Prime is AI's compact reef and freshwater fixture, and getting the mounting right matters for both positioning and long-term stability, especially on nano and mid-size tanks where leverage on a tank-edge mount is a real consideration.
The flex arm is the most common mounting choice for the Prime over tanks up to about 24"×24" — it clamps to the rim and positions the fixture directly above the water surface with adjustable tilt and height. For tanks in open-top installations or where a rim-clamp would interfere with feeding access, the hanging kit and HMS rail integration give you a cleaner overhead solution with better cable management.
The replacement power supply is worth having on hand if the Prime is running a critical system — like a quarantine tank or a display where a power failure would cause problems. Power supply failure is the most common non-LED service event on AI fixtures, and having a spare eliminates the lead time on a repair order.
Compatibility: AI Prime 16HD (Marine), AI Prime 16HD Freshwater, AI Prime 16HD Fuge
Note: The Prime's flex arm and HMS hanging kit are interchangeable across all Prime 16HD variants regardless of spectrum. Power supply is also universal across the Prime 16HD line.
