90g cube lighting

[ZaneGreay]

what do people think of a AI hydra 32 on a 90g cube? Would it be ok for a general mixed reef? Nothing demanding mainly lps, euphilia, mushrooms and some zoas.

They are excellent lights

What are the dimensions? and how far away from the edges are you planning on putting corals? Effective spread on that light is 24x24. I had a similar issue with my current tank 28x28x24 80ish cube.

I try to leave a few inches of clearance between the glass and rock work preferably 2” except on the back I may go as low as 1” and it’s 29.5x29.5x29.5 outside dimensions with a corner overflow. So I’d probably be looking at a preferred coverage of 26x26x29

Reefi uno 2.0 pro. That is what I am using. It comes with a 90 and 120 degree reflector you can run with out too think thats 160 degree, I am using the 120 and have good coverage all the way to the glass. inside dimensions are what I listed above (28x28x23) corner overflow on mine also. Light is about 11" off surface. I am running 124w getting around175- 225 par about 10" under the surface 95-110 on sand bed. The light is capable of 270w.

i use two(with two reef brite kho kits) over a 40B. my plan is to still use both over a 60G cube i'm building(likely will have to jerry rig/mcgyver the reef brite bars to be 2 bars rather than 4 individual bars) so the 2nd hydra 32hd could fit. my other plan is to sell all the lights and buy 1 reefi uno pro 2.0 and 1-2 quanta reef led bars(unless he has no 24" bars, then will opt to AI blades)

i have a mixed reef and it grows anything: softies, sps, lps, inverts. my only gripe is having to swap out the lenses after a while due to the plastic burning/melting. haven't had any other issues.
