AI Hydra 32HD Black

The Hydra 32HD represents the evolution of reef lighting, packing more power, better color mixing, and smarter control into a sleek, low-profile design. Built on over a decade of coral-growing expertise, the 32HD is designed to deliver a proven spectrum that makes corals "pop" while providing the growth-driving energy they need to thrive.

Key Features

• More LEDs, More Vibrance: Featuring over 20% more LEDs than its predecessor, the Hydra 32HD delivers deeper blues and brighter whites. With 32 high-output LEDs across 7 controllable channels, you can fine-tune the aquarium’s look to your exact preference.

• HD HyperDrive Technology: This technology allows you to redirect power from the color channels you aren't using to the ones you want to boost—giving you maximum output regardless of your color spectrum choice.

• Dedicated Moonlight Channel: A dedicated moonlight LED and channel allow you to simulate natural lunar cycles. Provide a subtle, warm glow for nighttime viewing or aid in natural coral spawning without affecting your primary daytime schedule.

• Advanced Optics: Custom-designed TIR (Total Internal Reflection) lenses maximize light efficiency and color blending. This creates a clean, natural shimmer while reducing color separation and ensuring even PAR distribution across the reef.

• Sleek & Resilient: The redesigned housing is thinner and more discreet, allowing the focus to remain on your livestock. Improved water resistance helps protect the fixture from the humid, salt-rich environment of a reef tank.

Smarter Control

No separate controller is required. Use mobile apps on any iOS or Android device to program your lights via Bluetooth.

• Easy Setup: Get running in minutes with the Setup Wizard.

• Acclimatization Mode: Slowly increase light intensity to help new corals adapt safely.

• Controller Compatibility: Compatible with Neptune Systems Apex controllers via the MXM module.
