They have been perfecting this design for years and every detail has been meticulously attended to and we think you’ll love the end result. As time goes on, they continue to shape their lighting products to meet and exceed the expectations of the community, for better performance, greater reliability and improved ease of use, understanding that to be your first choice for aquarium lighting they must always be delivering the best value in performance, features and support.
Vibrance is improved with deeper blues and brighter whites, your corals will pop like never before.ĪI has always listened to the feedback from hobbyist, retailers and aquaculture facilities. With over 20% more LEDs, the Aquaillumination flagship lights just got more power to grow coral, making them eye-blindingly bright. Introducing the HYDRA 64HD, HYDRA 32HD and PRIME 16HD, with even more LED’s better colour mixing, wider spread, more colour, more compact, more water resistant, and more refined, all without sacrificing anything that made the 52HD, 26HD and PRIME HD great. Better than spending $35 on their mount, especially because mine is invisible.More LEDs, More Power, More Colour and More Refined The only materials I used were the plastic wire organizer given to me by a friend, fishing line and the two screws that came with the lights. As a safety I still ran a line into the gold hook which provided a third contact to the railing. This proved a blessing is disguise though, because I could then very easily level and center them. However, for the hydras I had to run fishing line independently through each side in order to keep them straight with my tank. All I had to do for my Kessils was hang them, because if they rotated who cares. You can see by the pictures that I already made a light bracket using 2x4's and little gold hooks. Also the lighting storms, however much of a gimmick is cool.įor those interested in mounting, I went the DIY route. However, being able to control each channel is new to me and it is completely awesome. If I want to change something for tomorrow while my lights are ramping down at 10pm, BOOM 80% capacity and scared fish. Without a doubt my biggest gripe is that you cannot set a schedule without "sampling" the selection. Although these fans move a lot of air over the heat sinks, they are incredibly quiet, to a point that I have to see if they are running and can't just listen. This means that dust will accumulate much slower, motors will last longer and they will continue to be SILENT longer. One of my favorite things about the lights are that the fans automatically turn on and off when they are needed. Not sure what happened still but no worries on my end. I let it run its course and it set up a parent/child system and was fully controllable within 5 minutes. The indicator on the back was flashing, then pulsing then the entire LED would flash and then it would be black again. Lastly, setting them up wasn't hard but very weird.
Which brings me to my biggest surprise, these lights create their own network! As long as you have electricity and an internet device you can program them. I am a simple man however, and do not mind tapping into the wifi that is provided by the lights themselves. I cannot connect to my home network even after placing an extender <5 feet from my tank. Additionally, the wifi issues are very real. Seeing as I did not have to buy a $100 controller, I will take it as a win (not to mention friends think its really cool that I use my phone). Although I do agree that the interface is a little buggy I am certainly not complaining about it. The majority of the negative reviews of this light were the app interface. Not a problem for me and could probably be resolved if the hydras were placed more centered. The hydras are centered front to back, and when my one Kessil is off there is certainly a shadow near the middle of the tank. This works out very nicely for me, however, if I wanted to have just the hydras lighting it it would be more than enough provided no center overflow. My lights are evenly spread, each illuminating 1/3 of my tank. My tank is 4' wide 18" long and 18" deep to the sand bed. I replaced 2 of my 3 Kessil a150w Ocean Blues and kept one in the middle. I got these lights about a week ago now and wanted to do a little write up concerning the questions I could not find answers to while researching them.
