Any experience with the AI Blade?

[BST310]

Anyone have any experience with the AI blades yet? Specifically looking at the glow as some supplemental lighting. Just a 12” to add some more spread to the Kessil.

Curious if it’s the same UI as the Primes and Hydra? How’s color and spread? Mounting height etc.? Any issues or complaints?

I’d like to see one in person but my two LFS don’t have a glow set up. Anyone know of some that may?

I think @JDEllis may have a few on his smaller tanks and grow out tanks.

I have a friend who uses one (or maybe two?) over his tank. I thought it looked nice and it integrates well with mobius (I think?). @Blue Ocean Aquariums might chime in?

Yeah he’s got the grows setup not the glows. The glow is blue and UV only no white.

Not familiar mobius hoping I could just add it to the myAI app with my Nero pump.

Hey Ben. I'm experimenting with 2 AI Grows on a 48"x24" tank. So far so good. I can't provide input on color spectrum of the Glows, but if you're interested in knowing more about the spread, let me know. I sit down at night to sip some Blanton's in front of the tank, and turn on the royal blues to 20% to enjoy the show. I can only imagine the Glows are more intense for color pop.

Thanks for the feedback Ed and glad to hear you have a tank back up. Sounds like the glow will be great for supplemental pop. What mounts are you using and do you have them connected through the AI app?

Sounds like a great combo. Can you even find that stuff on the shelf locally.

They should be a good option as supplemental. Can also do all blades, unsure how many though

Never been I’ll go check it out, thanks man. Hope your tank is making a quick recovery.

I used the AI Elevated Tank Mounts. It provides about 4" of elevation.

I think there are much better lights out there. To me these look like something off of alibaba.

I just purchased some newer versions of these at the Reefapoolza show. liking them a lot so far and probably better build quality.

Reef factory has on the frag tanks and really make great pop colors on

I think Orphek OR3 bars is much better supplemental light.

Perfect that’s the mount I was looking at. Can you tilt the light Ed? Like so it’s at 45 point toward the back instead of parallel?

Not a lot of 12” options is my issue. I know Orphek doesn’t make one at least and Nico Bar website is under construction.
