AI Hydra 52 users?

[Reef Reaper]

Are there any AI Hydra 52 users out there? I was contemplating whether to purchase them instead of the more expensive Radions. Are you happy with the results of the Hydra's? I have an AI Prime HD light and it works really well.

Thanks for the help!

I havent setup yet but i am dreading the UI already of the AIDirector/MyAI app. Doesnt seem technical enough to my liking. Doesnt feel like much has been put into the app.

I have 2 52 HDs. They're beautiful lights, easy to set up and run quiet and cool. Dialing them in has been a pain. I've used a PAR meter many times and seem to get inconsistent readings for the same spots. I'll ramp up the wattage and yet the PAR decreases, and vice versa.

On my new build, I'm keeping the 52s, adding a third and then also adding T5s for growth. I feel like I never got the quality growth out of easy SPS (slimers, birdsnest, etc) with the 52s. Great for fluorescence and cool features like the ramp effect and moonlight, but LEDS...not sure they are all they are cracked up to be IMO.
