Upgrading aquarium lighting is a personal choice and should take into account a number of factors including how long you’ve had the existing lights, their condition and goals for your aquarium. The Hydra Edge will have different spectral and light elements to the Hydra. With these different features if you choose to move to Hydra Edge we recommend using an acclimation period and a PAR meter to ensure an easy transition.

Q: Will the existing HMS mounts that I am using or that are on store shelves work with the Hydra Edge?

Yes. The existing HMS mounts will work with the Hydra Edge, however due to the edge mounts and pivoting capability of hydra Edge model lights you will need to obtain a Hydra Edge mounting adapter kit.

Q: I have Hydra lights will they still be supported?

Yes. AI supports all products for a minimum of 2 years following the completion of production.

Q: How Do The Hydra Edge lights compare to the Blade and Prime Lights?

Blade and Prime lights are different lighting lines. In general the Hydra line is higher output in a pendant style fixture. Blades are comparatively lower wattage large form factor- for use as supplemental or as multiples as a primary light source.Primes are intended as a lower output and more compact light for smaller tank sizes than typically recommended for Hydra products.
