After collectively spending hundreds on cheap light set ups I'm finally ready to buy my first "real" set of lights. Is there a time of year the manufacturers or vendors clear out old inventory and have a sale??
I've been lurking in the dry goods marketplace but cannot seem to be quick enough on...
So after a 6 year hiatus I am back! I made the decision to jump back into the hobby in January. After a lot of thought I decided to go with the Waterbox 70.3. The tank is set to arrive this week!
Tank specs:
Tank: Waterbox 70.3
Return pump: Varios2
Lighting: 2x ai Hydra 26hd with 3D reefing...
I have 2 AI Hydra 26 HD's for sale. One of them works great, and the other does not turn on. The one that does not turn on has some kind of connection issue that will not let me perform a factory reset. It has a solid white light on the indicator button. I emailed AI about it and they said I...
So i currently have a 46 gallon bowfront with an oceanrevive t247 and I am currently trying to decide on what light I should upgrade it to. I've had the light for about 1.5 years (bought it used, was 2 years old when I bought it) and it was growing the corals at a really fast rate but then...

Hey all, so i just bought another hydra 26 about 3-4 months ago and i was having no problems at all with it until this morning when i went downstairs to go to work and noticed the aquarium lights weren’t on. I saw the small led blinking red and was like ohhh f*** not again(i had another drop in...
Does anyone know how to calculate or even guess par readings based on ai hydra 26 settings? I have 2 hydras on a 40b 16” deep reef and plan on using the ab+ spectrum. I don’t have any access to a par meter but I feel like there should be some sort of calculation out there for something like...
This is the story of our journey of the second large saltwater tank we built. During the series I’ll add bits about the things we learned from the first build, that have helped us so far.
We started a 90 gal mixed reef tank 2 years ago, learned a lot from the journey, a lot that we wish we...
Due to a recent lighting upgrade, I have three Hydra 26HDs which have been used for a total of three months at less than 30% (no corals yet) up for grabs. Two of the lights came with my Red Sea Reefer 350 deluxe and the other was purchased at same time. I am asking $275 shipped per light. I...
well guys, i just received my hydra in the mail today only to have the chain suspending it break and the lights go plop into the tank. I was infront of the tank so the moment it fell in i picked it up in less than 3 seconds tbh. I opened it and dried it up, plugged it in, it had all the right...
Looking for an Aqua Illumination Hydra LED Flex Arm (gooseneck mount) . I know someone out there has one in a closet collecting dust.
Shoot me a message with your price shipped to 95355.
Can do local pick up around Modesto, California.
Thanks!
I have 2 BNIB AI HMS Single Light Mount Kits (black) for sale. 1 box has been open to see how to install it and the other has not been opened. These hold Hydra 52 or Hydra 26, which are not included. I decided to mount the lights a different way, so I no longer need these. $65/each
Hey Guys,
So I've been very indecisive after selling my previous tank. Ever since the move which has been 3+ months now, I thought maybe being tankless would be some what satisfying to know my wallet is staying intact more lol . Which it has, but being tank less is very depressing, Wife gave...
Hello R2R!
Up until now, I've been documenting my tank progress in a forum managed by my local reef club. A few weeks ago, they had an issue with the software and I feared that the content may have been lost. Luckily, the forum is back online with all content intact, but I though it might be...
Welcome All to HighEndOfTheLow's new build.
So new year, new house, new job, new tank, new thread!
Brief history: Uk based Reefer Couple, 12 years and 6 years experience respectively. Been largely quiet on forums for the past few years due to moving into rental accommodation, finally after ~3...
I was wondering if anyone could help me with deciding on some lights for my new tank. I just picked up a 60 gallon cube,24'x24'x24'. I am debating between a hydra 26hd, kessil 360we or possibly a radion. Does anyone have any comments or advise? I am looking to do a mixed reef but mostly softies...

Finally upgrading lights for my 40 breeder and wondering which of the following options I should choose:
A) 2x - Kessil 360we Tuna Blue
B) 2x - Ecotech Radion XR15 G4 Pro
C) 2x - AI Hydra 26 HD
I know they're all great lights, but I'm very indecisive ;)
What started as a B-day gift (LFS Glass tank, with black hood and Stand)- is now the focal point of my house! I didn't cheap out, so the build took just shy of 1 year to complete. With Fish-keeping +25 years, this is the biggest tank to date for both fresh and Salt.
Basement requirements:

So as the title states I am looking for suggestions for lighting. I currently own an AI Prime HD for my IM Nuvo Fusion 10 gallon so an AI would be preferred but I have heard some not so good things about the Hydra HD's on this tank. I like the Kessil lights but have also heard those create too...
Hey guys, (New here)
I'm in need of a little help. I have a 220G -- 72 x 24 x 30" tank that has a black plastic rim at the top. I was going to go with a single-arm kit, until I realize that it wasn't compatible. Hanging the light's isn't going to work,.. so I was wondering- What would a good...
