If you want the answer skip to the end. For most of you, the Sol, Hydra, Hydra 52 are lights you might never have heard of. Some of us still have them, and have a lot of money invested, so are trying to every last drop out of them, hint to AI maybe an upgrade path with a discount on new lights...

I just picked up this Cobalt Aquatics C-Vue 45 gallon AIO display and stand. The plan is to start cycling the tank and then slowly add fish and corals. Over the next few weeks, water parameters will be monitored and this gives us time to decide on what equipment we will add to the tank. The...

I'm starting this build thread a little early. I am moving apartments in late March and am using that opportunity to transfer my Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25 contents to the new lagoon layout. It fit's my desired look far better, allowing for mangroves and more horizontal space for macro algaes...

Looking for a director specifically, and maybe some spare lights. If you have any units with bad led’s, pucks etc that you have hanging around, I might be interested in taking them off your hands as well. These are older lights but still very capable, and I have the resources to cobble some...

Hello! Right now I’m setting up an innovative marine 14 fusion, which I want to run as a mixed reef but more emphasis on sps corals. I know with the smaller size usually the primes 16hd are the go to, however I was doing some research and saw that primes are great for a 12x12 area where the...

Aqua Illumination raised their powerhead prices by 10%?? I just noticed this while debating buying a nero 3, and needed to vent. What isn't more expensive lately...

I have Four (4) Hydra 26's (non HD) and I am looking for an AI Director. I am hoping someone here can help me out.

I bought 2 brand new Nero 5 pumps last week with the intention to use them on my new build, but decided to go another direction. I did open ONE of the boxes to start looking at the pump, but never even set anything up. Paid $475 after tax for both of them last week. Save yourself a few bucks for...

I have 4 ai prime 16 lights over a 75 gallon tank I’ve had ai before and love them. I’m going to an all acro system and want t5s for those insanely high par numbers. All 4 lights have been running approximately 3 days. I still have original box for all of them asking 700 shipped for all 4...

What does everyone have their AI spectrum settings at? Specifically for the AI prime. I’m still refining my schedule. At the moment the colors aren’t quite to my liking. I have calcified macro algae, softies, LPS, and easy SPS (birdsnest, pavona, stylophora)

Ok I know there are some double dippers out there...salties and freshies..... I recently broke down my freshwater to go salt so looking to selling my Aqua Illumination Prime HD's and all the CO2 system. Lights with flexible arms $125 ea shipped. Complete CO2 $175

Hydra 32 Flex Arm 18" (Will also work for the Hydra 26 as long as it has the two holes for the screws to attach.) Never used, decided I liked the rail mount better. Paid $68, asking $40 shipped

Clearing out some equipment. Works as it should and comes with an Allen wrench. This is the older mounting type with two thumb screws that secure it to the tank. $40 shipped conus. Thanks!

Hello! I have a 4 ft, Innovative Marine EXT 100 tank, and lighting consists of 2 AI 32 HDs on the rail. They are 11 inches off the surface of the water. My goal is LPS/Softies only, and then I have a few BTA's. Over the last couple of weeks, I have had a few LPS losses. I'm wondering if my...

Hey, everyone! So my Waterbox Marine X 90.3 finally came in! And I'm head over heels for this tank. The stand took about an hour and a half to build with my husband, and then I made my own saltwater to fill the tank. I used Aqua Forest sea salt for the basics. I've got 60lb of Fiji Pink sand...

Didn’t want to do it because i’ll probably upgrade in the near future but I can’t stand the stock LED’s on the biocube so I’m going to purchase an AI Prime 16HD Reef LED and the flex arm. That’ll come with an added cost of an ATO and a screen top (don’t want the wrasse to carpet surf). I don’t...

I recently bought a pair of used Hydra 26HDs that I won’t be needing anymore after acquiring different lighting. One hydra is fully functional and will come with the single HMS mount. I also have a second hydra 26hd that has a burnt out royal blue channel but other wise works. 1. hydra 26hd w/...

Well let's start from Day 1, I started my saltwater journey after being in freshwater game for 6-8 years. Well last year with a 29 gallon tank later I started the salt water tank and later in the year my wife cousin gave me his 65 gallon tank with a clown and a goby. This past Thanksgiving I...

Last night, I turned off my pair of hydra 26 hd lights using the app. Today, I can't access my lights through the website. The website won't load, and the app gives me an error (Connection Timeout - Check your wireless connection). It will do that under wifi or 4G. Is my aqua illumination...

Hey guys so now that I've received my new lighting setup I am ready to sell my old lights, everything works great and is in absolute excellent condition. Everything will come with its original boxes from lights to mounts and controller. Purchased both lights on 9-24-19 were not in use until late...

Purchased a complete set up from another reefer and don’t have use for either of these anymore. Both work perfectly, maybe need a decent cleaning. Radion XR30 Gen 3 - $325 shipped AI Prime (white) w/ tank mount - $150 shipped

Time for an upgrade! Seeing as I will be working from home until the end of the year at the least, I decided I could afford the time to handle a larger system and pulled the trigger on a Reefer 250. I started reefkeeping in January 2018 with an IM fusion 20, which was the perfect size for my...
