Aqua Iluminatin Hydras

[pulpfiction1]

I decided to upgrade my current lights to the Aqua Illumination Hydras
i hope to have these up and running by Xmas,only needing a rack mount or something to get things started.Will post how easy these are supposed to be to operate as well as remotely via app on my cell.Just my luck they have released a new version the Hydra 52 but i will stick with these as I'm sure they will be more than adequate

Definately let us know how you like them and there controllability. I was thinking about the hydra 52's for my frag tank when I set it up.

well i did get 2 units setup tonight,i have the director as the controller,its early as to what is the best setting.I'm still up in the airhere are a few shouts just messing around,as you can see after the shots
i also too a pic of the corresponding setting percentages

too tired after the xmas wrapping and putting out under the tree,will do more over the holidays as well as a video

also this is only a pic with my cell,it dont do any justice

id reccomend easy on the whites man, they are far more intense then ud think

 

[pulpfiction1]

only just set up last night and pics were only a couple of different views of the settings.might grab a standard control as im not really in need of this director.i prefer simple and really have little use for the mobile function

If you are interested, I may be able to facilitate a trade for a normal controller for your director.

Have to say these are great lights!! once u get em dialed in right they look great and grow coral great. I think i finally have mine dialed in now but they are way lower in intensity than i thought i would ever run them at. Still having bleaching problems with one scoly that started to go when they were set to run hotter. I have a piece of yellow efflo that was brown as s**t and last night i noticed the whole top side is starting to nicely colour up again. Some sps sill brown but time will colour them up.

im sure you seen the intensity of my chinese LED and these seem so much dimmer,maybe ill get used to it.my other lights grew everything i put in with no issues,i do like thie lightning effect on these and the moonlight is also a nice feature

 

[chuckm]

Where did u get these from phil?

 

[pulpfiction1]

toronto

When I introduce new coral I put it on sandbed. If it's Lps or softies I put them off to the side so that they are not directly under the pendant. I have a small staghorn colony that has been on my sandbed for 2 1/2 weeks in that time it was really started to colour up nicely and is displaying excellent polyp extention
