Hydra 26 reviews needed

[jbeanz]

Anybody here running AI hydra 26 on their tank? Would like to hear about your overall experience running them. I am thinking about purchasing two for my 120g 48x24x24 currently running 2 Kessil A350w.

Check my review of the AI Prime here https://www.reefs.com/blog/2015/09/24/aquaillumination-prime-led-aquarium-light-review/
If you wait a little bit, the new hydra HD will have the same capabilities as Prime.

I'm running one on my 45g cube, great light and very powerful. Anything specific you'd like to know?

What are the dimensions of your tank ? Any shadowing? What do you have in there ? & how is the growth ? Thanks

It's a jbj 45 aio so it's 26" long by 18" not including the rear sump area. I get great coverage and growth with the lights about 12" above the waterline. It's a mixed reed with a magnificent anemone and various sps and lps. With a 120g I would recommed the 52s cause I don't think you're going to get the coverage you want with the 26.
