If I were to get ai hydras 52

[sharkreef]

This is my 6 feet 125 gallon reef ready tank, I was thinking of getting Aqua illumination hydras but how many would I need I was thinking 3 but the center brace will block it Any suggestions ? Thank you

I have two 52s and one 26 in the center you can see the light. When I have all on I seen no difference.

 

[sharkreef]

Wow thank you for the picture

 

[Waffo]

Yeah you can tell really good.. And it's on low power.

Im using 4 Hydra 26s on my 125 to minimize the shadowing. 52s are great if you have a really deep tank, or want SPS on the stand, but I asked AI about my tank, and they suggested 26s so I could get the additional unit for the same or lower price than getting 3 - 52s

unfortunately I dont have anything yet, as Im waiting on the aluminum t slot to hang the fixtures.

 

[sharkreef]

Thanks I also built mine. I love that we could make the height whatever we wanted it to all the pre made stands where to low for my liking!

2 Hydra 52's on my 125 6' with center brace. Here's a picture with them at 15% power @ 10k mode. Less shadowing at higher power but no coral in the tank yet so no reason to have them up. If you want 0 shadowing you will probably need more than 2.
