Designed for reef enthusiasts who demand maximum coverage, high-intensity illumination, and unparalleled spectral control, this advanced LED lighting system provides the ultimate balance between performance, efficiency, and customization.

Unlike traditional fixtures, the Hydra Edge 68HD integrates both point-source and panel-style illumination, ensuring a balanced, natural light spread with dynamic shimmer effects. Ideal for deep reef tanks and large coral displays, the Hydra Edge 68HD enhances coral fluorescence, polyp extension, and overall growth while delivering a stunning reef aesthetic.

Features

Hybrid Optical System Superior Light Distribution

The Hydra Edge 68HD is built with EdgeField Optics and a dedicated Solar Ring, delivering exceptional light coverage with minimized shadowing. This combination of point-source shimmer and panel-style uniformity creates a natural underwater lighting effect that enhances coral vibrancy. With a 100° spread, it covers an expansive 30″ × 30″ area, ideal for deep tanks requiring higher PAR values and stronger spectral penetration.
