More Color, More Spread, More Power, and More Refined
A new generation of Aqua Illumination Hydra lighting is here! The Hydra 64 HD has been redesigned making the reef lights more efficient with better aesthetics. The Hydra Lights have been a staple in the reefing community for years and the new Hydra 64 HD Lights take the same great features and benefits while using more efficient hardware that ultimately gives better light and spread throughout your aquarium.
- Easy Control with the MyAI App
- More LEDs
- More PAR
- More Spread
- Improved Optic Design
- Improved Water Resistance
- Thinner Form Factor
- Multiple Mounting Options
- Dedicated Moonlight Channel
- Wider Spectrum (more channels)
Design
Redesigning the plastics in the Prime and Hydra lineup has resulted in two major benefits: better efficiency and better aesthetics. Efficiency improvements reduce the demands on active cooling for longer component life. Improvements to design thin the fixtures and reduce their profile and presence over your aquarium.
Resilient
Water-resistance is a major benefit in aquarium lighting – and while the new Prime and Hydras are not waterproof, design improvements make them more capable of facing the moisture-rich adventures of reef keeping.
Moonlight
A dedicated moonlight LED and channel has been added in the new Prime HD, Prime FW, Hydra 32HD and Hydra 64HD modules. This allows for independent moonlighting designed to simulate the natural lunar color and intensity.
Control
Control on the lights will use the existing myAI app which is free, simple and very quick to a program offering onsite direct BLE connection through your smart device. Additional control options may become available for the new generation Prime and Hydras over time.
Optics and Output
Output in terms of PAR, color mixing and spread are all improved with the new fixtures. The incorporation of more LEDs results in a more targeted full-spectrum, TIR lenses shape the light’s output and improve its efficiency. The result is more color POP as well as a slightly wider output area and higher average PAR. A combination LED placement and lens geometry blend the light from the clusters so that color separation is further reduced.
Coverage
- Effective Spread: 30″ x 30″
- Effective Depth: 24″
- Recommended Mounting Height: 8-10″
The Hydra® 64HD delivers more output with a higher average PAR than any other AI Module.
HD AI’s popular HD functionality, through which a user can route power not in use by one color channel into another color channel is a much-loved feature on the previous generation HD fixtures. As the new product names imply (Prime 16HD, Hydra 32HD, and 64HD) all the new HD lights retain this exciting feature.
Mounting
Mounting hardware as previously available for Hydra and Prime fixtures will work with
the new version lights. The exception is the Hydra-Flex arm which will require a different light bracket due to the size difference in the new fixtures. The Flex arm bracket will change with the new fixtures. Older flex arms being used to mount the new lights will need a new light bracket.

The shipment must be received on the first delivery attempt. If you miss the delivery and the package is delayed a day or more because of it, we cannot accept responsibility for any losses. It is your responsibility to check the tracking number for delivery.
NOTE: We are not responsible for errors, postal delays, wrong addresses mail holds, or P.O. Box deliveries by the postal carrier. If USPS forwards your shipment in error, we do cover that type of mistake.
All claims must be made and or brought to our attention via email or website messenger within 24 hours of the package being delivered.
We ship USPS FIRST CLASS the majority of the time. If you would like to receive the plant sooner, you can opt for the 2-day Shipping for just $10.99 which would take a delivery time of 2-3 days. THIS WILL BE AT AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO YOU. You will get a tracking number, photo of delivery, and updates. It is important you check this tracking number 2-3 times each day to see when the box will arrive at your home. Please make sure you are at home the day of the arrival or arrange for someone to be there to receive the plants/livestock and that they know how to properly care for the plants/livestock. The less time they spend in the box the better.
Shore Aquatic ships Monday -Thursday depending on location in order to avoid the weekend. All orders placed after Thursday 12 PM will be shipped the following Monday.
We reserve the right to hold delivery due to inclement weather.
If you would like to receive your item faster, we recommend purchasing 2 day shipping.
Temperature is very important for live delivery of plants. Please check the 7-day weather forecast in your location before placing your order. If the temperature in the coming days is too low (below 35F) or too high (above 90F), please do not order.
We guarantee live arrival on all our livestock. In the rare event livestock shows up dead, we must be notified within 2 hours of delivery. Keep in mind these plants/livestock just took the journey of their lifetime in a dark box for 2-4 days so they will take time to recover and to be at their best again. Please take clear photos of the dead plant/livestock and send it to us within 2 hours of receiving the item and send the clear photos, once the item is validated by us, we will send a replacement or refund.
We try not to have snails/pests, but it happens, we remove any visible imperfections before shipment however to be 100% certain we suggest that you either do a 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip and/or wash the plants. Anytime you add something new to an aquarium it is important to rinse it off before adding just to be safe.
Our customers are very important to us. Please help us by leaving positive feedback and if you are not satisfied or feel that we could somehow improve, please privately message us and we would be happy to help. We realize without you; we would have nothing! We greatly appreciate your business and strive to serve you well.
- We do not accept returns on livestock as returning a perishable item is not feasible, we will however work with you to reach a solution.
