Burned myself one time showing the lights to a customer. Plugged in the light and grabbed it on the lens lol

So unfortunately looks like no stores around me carry the AI Hydras(only ones anyone carries are the Radions and Kessils) so I was wondering what are some of the reputable online dealers?

dunno if im allowed to name none sponsor vendors but some of the ones on here i have used and never had a problem are aquacave and bulk reef supply. im sure there are many more sponsors thats are just as awsome,

I have 2 over my 120g 4x2x2 tank. Been about 16 weeks now and I gotta say I love em. My chalices have fantastic growth as with my gold torch and other torchs !

Is 2 enough? Looks like it's spot lighted

It's Definetly enuff. I bought a 3rd but the center brace blocked the light. Not so spot light in person Everything is growing great

Cool, getting ready to put some on a 60"

Following along as I'm thinking about getting these for my 90 new tank.

Travis590 · Jan 4, 2014

How big of a risk is it to buy these used, or will the manufacturer warranty still cover these for 1 year? Has anyone dealt with AI as a second owner and were they good about guaranteeing their product?

I love my AI Hydra! It's been over my tank for 7+ Months now!

Here's a video of my tank with the AI Hydra:

indeed, your zoa/paly and lps seem to be loving it. care to share what your settings are and how high you hang the lights?

ReefKeeper09 · Jan 6, 2014

The picture attached shows my settings. It was taken in November but the settings haven't changed. I have the fixture mounted 8 inches from the surface.

Got my first AI Hydra in yesterday and now just waiting on my Director to show up(should be by Thursday). I will run it over 1 side of my 90g with a coralife 150w MH on the other until I can get the money to buy the second. Sooooo excited to get this up, held it over the tank and it blows away the MHs.
