Is the Hydra Fifty Two worth the extra money?

I think depending on the depth. I have a 24" tall tank, minus sand and air gap at the top, that puts me at 21" of water. My Hydras (non-52) very easily penetrate to the bottom, and I'm growing SPS at up to 18" from the water line, so I have no problem with power.

Likely with a 36" deep tank you might want more penetration power.

I'm collecting equipment I will be needing when I finally get my 220 running.
Thanks for the info!

My AIs are 37" from the sandbed and I can grow SPS on the sandbed with no problems.

I was thinking about 2 hydra's and 2 52's I can always dim them if they are to intense.

You can manage 10 tanks with up to 30 lights with one AI Director. Call us tomorrow if you want to discuss 1 on 1.

I think the lights are getting stupid now. It's all a marketing game about who has the most LEDs and the most power. Does anyone even run their existing ones at 100%?
