Hey guys,
I currently have a 60g cube with the dimensions of 24x24x24, and currently I run an Ocean Revive T247 with two 24" T5 ATI Blue Plus bulbs. I want to swap out my Ocean Revive with an AI Hydra 26HD, but I'm a little worried on coverage.
Will the two pucks provide decent coverage when...
Hi folks!
I picked up two old AI Hydra 1st Gen recently for cheap because Royal Blue channel doesnt work, so I decided to find out if I could repair it.
After several tests, find that the problem is the burned out LED, so I have to replace them.
I will need some XT-E Royal Blue LEDs, where...

I’m building a new tank 36”L x 22”W x 22”H. Looking to have an sps dominant tank, can anyone give some suggestion ?
Radion, hydra, t5, or hybrid? If hydra or radion, how many of them should I need
I’m thinking about Aquaticlife hybrid 36” 4 t5 + 2 hydra 26/2 xr15
I have 3 AI Hydra 26s (NON HD) and the apex AWM module, selling for $360 for all. Price includes shipping and PP fees. Ship priority mail (usually 2 business days) No more than 75% use for approx. 3 years. Not looking to split as these 3 lights with module are cheaper than one HD. Any questions...
I'm selling 3 Black Hydra 52 HD lights. I've used these lights for 5-6 months. There is two thread's below where you can see the lights in action.

After doing much digging and not being able to find a configuration for a Hydra 52 HD/ T5 Setup, I figured I would make my own and share it. I currently run 3 Hydra 52 HD's & the Aquatic Life LED/T5 60" Fixture. This lets me hold 4 T5 bulbs along with the Hydra's. I have a 72" tank but the 60"...
I spoke with Chris aka @lonewonderer over the course of a few weeks.
During this time Chris provided great insight and product knowledge! We kept in constant communication then and now!
I would encourage anyone interested in doing business with Chris to do so! Prices are reasonable and...
Anyone out there lighting there zoa's by the kelvin, like 14K or 20K using leds. I have some AI Hydras, first gen I believe with the seven different leds, and got two sitting about 12inches above a 40G breeder. Have them set to the levels below which is supposed to be 14K.
UV 40%
V 40%

Having a toss up between the 2 and looking to buy soon. Thought I'd ask here what peeps thought of each and which would be the light of choice. Leaning toward the Hydra a little already, but could use a little feedback from those who have or have had both.
Thanks!
Aaron
Halides are great but a few weeks ago, got a deal on a 52 that was upgraded from a SOL as well as the Ai Director for $200 off a local forum. Fell in love with it and am looking for a second to fit in the system and remove the other halide. 200-300 & will cover shipping to Dallas, TX. I'm not...
Hi folks,
I am changing my light to the Hydra 26 HD. Wondering what is your successful spectrum for coral color pop and growth. I have a mixed reef with mostly sps on the top and lps (chalice, acan, socly) at the bottom. Will turning the UV and voilet same as blue will burn the corals? Any...
I'm selling 2 AI Hydra 52s, non-HD and a Director for $700 plus shipping. These were upgrades from AI Sols and have the large heat sinks. PM is key.
Thanks, Eric
The Blue channel went out on my old Gen1 Hydra. Contacted AI and the pucks have been discontinued. Anyone ever replace the Diode on a Hydra or see any complication? Thanks
$600 or Best offer! Want to sell asap rather than store for future use.
If purchased today before I add them to my ai cloud I'll guarantee these work or have them sent in to AI for repairs at my expense.
3 Original aqua illumination Hydra's great working condition, 48" tank mount...
Put this up on my tank for less than a day, plug and try it for a few hours. the light is complete with all accessories, Plug and Play. If you need hanger accessories they sold separately online.
Bought a while back, sitting in my closet. So I rather let it go to someone who makes a good use of...
I am extremely livid right now, as I just discovered the cause of my favorite fish's demise. When I was setting up my new lighting configuration, I used the MyAI app. One of the features essentially causes the lights to unexpectedly strobe extremely brightly and repeatedly without anyway to stop...
Thinking about one of these led fixtures for my IM 25Gallon Lagoon
24 x 20 x 12
As of right now, Planning to go SPS Dominate. Which one do you guys prefer i should pick up? I want a good spread throughout my tank. As of right now, My rockscape covers about 18" Long and about 14" Width in the...
This light is awesome but it doesn't match my other hydra 26 HD and it is driving me nuts. It comes with apex controller and normal controller. I've used it for 5 month and I am the first owner, $200 for light and both controllers.
So today I was ready to purchase my...
Hydra 26HD
48" EXT mount
12" Extension Rail
HMS 26 Bracket

for my 28g JBJ nano cube. I ask the BRS rep if there is anyway to mount the pucks side by side and he says no, you have to go with the HMS tank mount. Thing is - My...
Howdy folks!
This will be a build thread on my downgrade. Why the downgrade?
Seeing this tank in person at the LFS a while ago, I fell in love with it and the whole Red Sea Reefer series. What amazing and clean looking setups. As I picked this one up, it was smaller than I recalled. It had me...
1. Apex Controller ($250)
2. Saltwater Mix station is a must (need to check prices on this)
3. Another Ai Hydra needed to light 36x36in tank ($200)
4. More dry rock neeeded BRS.. ($80)
5. Autotop off.
