The Hydras are actually quite amazing, I've never seen better growth or coloration out of my corals. The Abro is still colored up and everything pops. The down side is the coverage, these things cover exactly what they claim on the sand bed, but the corals above get shafted.

Make sure you keep that glass on there before staring at it... From what I've read it blocks out some pretty harmful stuff *halide noob talking here*.

oh yes, the glass on an HQI DE is a must! They are not UV shielded like Single Ended mogals are. You'll burn everything in its path without the UV glass!
