Hi R2R Family.
HI I'm starting a nano tank (18inx18inx18in), it will be a mixed tank (Sps, lps, and soft corals), I'm indecisive to get a hydra26 or a RADION RX15 G4, hope you can help me!
Two Hydra 26 HD, used for two months $300 each or both for $550.
HMS 36” rail, hydra mounts and hanging kit $100
Biotech Marine BTM-3000 par sensor (used twice) with homemade acrylic rod holder. $175
Or take everything for $800
All,
I know “best” is highly subjective, but I want to see what you all would do if you were me.
Parameters:
I’m setting up a new tank, a waterbox 75.2 “cube.” (24x24x20)
Stimulating max coral growth is the most important factor for the light
Connectivity is nice, but I don’t need to be able...
Hi chalice experts,
I want to get some advise on the chalice light intensity . Currently I'm switching to a hydra 26 for my nano tank. As I have different type of chalice (rainbow, pink bobbies, mummy eye ), I want to know what is the best par level for them. Before I kept them around 70 to 80...
Hi! Would anybody be willing to share their light schedule/setting for a hydra 26 hd? I can't seem to find a good one. It is for a tank with a height of 18" and the lamp is at approximately 11" from the surface of the water. TIA!!!

I bought the Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe with the 2 AI Hydra 26HD lights. I see people have some custom .aip files but don't see anyway to upload them either to the phone/tablet app or the website. Can anyone help with this?
Also interested in recommended .aip files for mixed reef...
hey @Bulk Reef Supply you guys make awesome videos on lighting and what’s good for your tank. I was just wondering if there was any plans to analyze the hydra 52 HD. Trying to decide if I should upgrade to radions
Hi All,
Very excited to find a home to post my build thread. I hope you drop by to get updates or follow along with the journey.
I'm open to feedback and am thinking to make this hopefully detailed pic heavy.

Hi all - Past few months Some of my coral have been withdrawing. I have been dealing with high nitrates for a while now and thought maybe the coral issue was related. I'm working on lowering nitrates but made this observation. Lights (Hydra 26HD) start ramp up at 12. As expected corals start to...
The beginning of my thread was not so good so here it is a little improvement:
My wife and I decided to build a new house, we live in Aguascalientes, Mexico. As part of the new house I decided to upgrade my current 70L nano AIO to a Red Sea Max S-500. I put it together along with two friends...
I am looking for a couple of used Hydra HDs...26 or 52. Let me know what you got and price including shipping to 63011.
I might even consider 2 Prime HDs.
Hi there ,
Recently I bought 2x Hydra 26HD for my 4 footer. While I had no issues with one of the LED module , the other one is giving me an headache. I have connected it to my iPhone via Wifi. While I am able to control all channels , the Green,UV and the Royal Blue channels are not working...
This is my first post I need some help programming my hydra 26 hd. I have 2 over a 90 gallon tank. My tank is pretty much all LPS with some softies and one monipora. All my parameters are okay I am just trying to figure out where to start out with my settings. Lights have been on the tank about...
hey reefers, just wanted some input on which light fixture you guys would go with and why. I'm in between the radion xr15 pro and the AI Hydra 26 HD. I'm really interested on growth. Turning an old cube into a frag tank, sits about 18 inches high. Thanks for your help in advance !
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...
I have had my Hydra TwentySix HD LED's running about 4 months and i was wondering where do you kept your setting at on your Hydra lights! Also, how long do you run them when they are fully rampped up.. Let me know!
I run these setting below for 7hrs w/ a 1 hr ramp up and a 1hr ramp down...

Hi Everyone,
So after 4 years on and off in this hobby ( more off ) and a reasonably successful last 12 months with a signature 600 and then a reefer 170, I now have a Reefer 525xl deluxe model. I have always found threads on tank builds a massive help and hopefully by me documenting my...
