Are my Hydra 26’s working properly

3rdMoon · Jan 16, 2020

So I bought 2 new Hydra 26’s on Black Friday. When they arrived I plugged them in to make sure they worked, then boxed them back up until it was time to start assembling my tank. So... it’s time

Now that I’ve got them in place and set up for Parent/Child, I noticed that one glows pale blue, and the other pale green when they’re turned off. Is that normal?

Yup! The green one is the parent light, and the blue is the child light. Basically they're linked and one is the primary and the other is the secondary

Also if you want you can turn that feature off in your AI settings, look for incognito mode, it'll turn the glow off when the lights turn off for the day .

Yes, as said above one is parent and one is child. All AI lights do that.

Wow it’s so cool to get such quick responses. I noticed it this morning and thought... I’ll post on R2R and see what they say. And BANG... question answered
