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.
