Sponsor Spotlight: Aqua Illumination

revhtree · Mar 30, 2021

Sponsor Spotlight

Today we want to spotlight one of the great sponsors of the R2R community. Community sponsors are important and are beneficial to the community in many ways. Some of which include bringing great reefing deals to the members, helping to keep the "proverbial" forum lights on, helping members learn and understand the keeping of saltwater reef aquariums and much more. We want to take time out a couple times a week to bring a spotlight to these sponsors who partner with us and our community to make it a wonderful place to learn and share!

As a thank you to our R2R sponsors please try to shop with them first as well as check out their websites often! See all of our sponsors here.

Please help me thank our newest sponsor spotlight recipient Aqua Illumination!

AI lights are awesome, love the options available and the capacity to tune intensities to one's liking.

I have one on a 2.65 gallon pico tank. XD

Actually started using their Nero 5 powerheads in the new build, and I LOVE them! Great products, so easy to clean, and they move a TON of water for their size!

Only lights/Powerheads I will ever use.

They also have some of the best customer support that I've dealt with.

funny how this fell off the front page its first day AI has some explaining to do after its last stealth nerf alota folks are upset and understandably so advertise hyper-drive the lights and now you can't very shady.

The Hydras are awesome, I am very happy with my 26HD. Running since 4 years ago.

uhgster1 · Mar 30, 2021

Best bang for the buck.

Really enjoy the Nero 3 and Hydra 32 I have, however I do wish the app was a little more intuitive sometimes.
Can be a little complex for a newbie like myself when first stepping into it. Would also be nice to have an 'Off' button for the light on the app.

i have a pair of Nero 5's for my new 93 cube build cant wait to set them up and use them hear lots of good things.

zoaprince · Mar 31, 2021

They are completely manufactured in the US, or just assembled? Mostly curious.

I owned an AI Prime 16HD and it did a great job covering 12x12.

lights after update are no longer Hyper-Drive they stealth nerfed the lights an never told anyone the lens on them are inferior and were burning up. AI's fix wasn't to FIX it but rather roll the lights HD namesake back while not being upfront about it
an yea have 2 over 17g for best coverage but some people have deeper tanks an have no idea their par was cut

I have 2-52 HD’s, 2-26 HD’s and a prime 16 and they all still have hyperdrive. I have a par meter as well and haven’t experienced any drop in par.
