2 New Hydra 26 LEDs

I'm not so sure you can upload programs with the new HD version. It seems to me like a lot of things that the old one did, like weather simulation, are not part of the new program for the HD versions, which is a bummer because that's why I bought mine in the first place. Even if you can upload I doubt that any programs from the older lights that had a controller would be compatible with the HD version, which you don't need a controller for.

With the HDs you do have weather, acclimation & lunar features.

The only weather setting is lightning. I'm talking about cloud cover and local weather simulations. Ie: If it's mostly cloudy outside near me it's mostly cloudy at my tank. The non-HD models had cloud cover along with the lightening setting. Not sure about local weather simulation though. I don't really care about the lightening setting as it's more of a, "Hey, look what my tank can do," type of setting.

That sounds awesome! No, my new HDs are not quite that cool!

Ya local weather sim sounds really cool! I imagine that would require a 52 to look nicer or a couple lights for wider control...

Funny thing is I had weather setting on and my tank would flash. Honestly I thought I got a faulty light and was freaking out. Stupid me forgot I had the weather mode on. I'd rather keep it off on the HD.
