AI Hydra 26HD?

bdare · 02/08/2017, 02:40 PM

Hey guys,

Looking for a little advice. I have a chance to pick up a lightly used RedSea Max E Series 260 with the AI Hydra 26HD lights.

Are these lights any good? Can I keep SPS? Clams?

Thanks,

Ben

Yes, they're very good lights and will work well for just about anything as long as there's enough of them for adequate coverage. Which, 2 of them on that particular tank is just fine, IMO.

They're incredible!

I've used them twice now on two different SPS tanks. Currently using one now actually for my ZEOvit SPS Reefer 170.

A few of us on here are also using a mock Ecotech Marine SPS AB+ profile with great success. This is something I'd be able to send you if you'd be interested.

For what its worth, heres a picture of my tank with SPS only. If you pick up the tank with the lights, PM me and I'll send a link over to you with the profile if you're interested!
