AI LED lighting.

[sharonleong]

Dear Reefers,

I would like to check with you, I believe someone here uses AI LED lighting for your setup.

Can you show me your setup? Which model did you use etc....

Normally for 3ft tank how many base unit is sufficient?

 

Thanks in advance.

Depending on the width of the tank but for a 3x2x2, One unit hydra 52 HD should be good enough

it all depend on what is the mount you are using. for the spread , i would suggest 2  units as the side of the tank might not have enough lighting 

You might need to get this mount : http://www.theaquariumsolution.com/d-d-slimline-designer-bracket

 

FYI : AI  does not comes with mounting in the box . you will need to get it separately.

For a 3 ft tank 1 Hydra 52 HD is enough if your scape is centre of front or back glass.

If your scape is almost close to  front and /or  back glass then these area may not have enough PAR

if the LS you keep in these area are light demanding.

For such case 2 Hydra 52 hd will cover the whole area

For sharing, this is my setup with 2x Hydra26 (3x1.5x1.5).

 

For 322, i agree with the suggestions provided earlier - i.e. 1 to 2 units Hydra 52 depending on your scape.

Hello Larry,

Thank you after reading I think one may not be enough if I wanted the light spectrum to spread it across the tank.

I also read up LED is spot lighting won't it harm the corals?

What are the numbers in the tank?

What are the numbers in the tank?

The number represent the par reading which is a measurement of the amount of light .

You need a PAR meter or seneye tank controller to measure the PAR value.

If you like spot lighting change the lens from default 80 deg to 45 or 60 deg

But I not sure AI has such lens
