Pix of my AI HydraTwentySix HD LED's mounted

[FLSharkvictim]

FYI,, why my tank is so BLUE looking is b/c I am still in acclimation mode so I dont have a MAJOR out break of Algae. I went with AI tank mount RAIL EXT KIT and I think I made a mistake. I am not happy with this set up b/c 1 reason you can't turn your lights horizontally as you can see from the picture. So I have decided to go with the AI hanging kit that you see in pix # 3 b/c then I can put back on my canopy! Some people don't mind not having a canopy on there tanks but I do. Ones i am able to hang them from the celling you will not be able to see the lights just the wires after I put on my canopy since I did a little custom work to it.... As far as the Hydras, best bang for your buck. My buddy has the Ectotech Radion XR30w G4 LED Light Fixture and I was not impressed for how much more in money they were compared to the Hydras - it simply was not worth it to me to spend $699.00 vs $349.99 per fixture. Long story short, if you want a solid led, I would recommend going with the Hydras but that's my opinion.

My current settings after 2 months:
When LEDS are ramped up!
White: 55%
Red: 10%
Green: 10%
Blue: 80%
Royal Blue: 80%
Violet: 20%
UV: 20%

How are they controlled? I have sol blues and was think of upgrading to a pair of hydra 26 or the G4 xr15.

i just upgraded from rhe sols too. Its controlled by the app you dont need anything other then the lights since they are wifi. I definately would reccomend them

What visual benefit? Was think of t5 supplement with sol but wondering if that is not needed

Any difference in light spread if you mount width wise?

 

[Cammunoz]
