So I got a Hydra 26 or Hydra 26 HD. Question is how can you visually tell the difference? All I got was the light but online they look identical. I need to buy a new Power Supply and cord and was wondering if they are the same for both the non HD and HD versions. So how can I tell which one mine is?

I have 26hds, if you can take a pic I can try to compare. Im not sure how accurate this is but I found this on a quick search.

The HD's include a re-balanced puck so there is one less white per puck so 3 x White 3 x Royal blue and 3 x blue compared to 4 x white ,3 x blue x 2 x Deep blue in the 26/52 EU and 4 x White ,3 x Royal blue and 2 x Deep blue in the 26/52 US per puck

Maybe someone that has had both can chime in.

That’s HD. Can’t answer power cord question either since all of my wiring is behind a panel that’s pretty tough to get to
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
