The update brings some nice tech along with a bit of a facelift for an excellent line of lights. The new models have more LEDs, more PAR and more spread over the aquarium. They will also have newly designed optics so you can expect better color blending from the LED diodes. The housing is also taking on a facelift over the previous AI Hydra generations. The Hydra 32HD and 64HD fixtures also promise to be more water resistant. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsJeremy89 Peter- Despite mass coral bleaching events in the summers of 2016 and 2017 that badly damaged parts of the reef, much of the marine park roughly the size of Japan continues to thrive. Alarming headlines across the globe may have deterred tourism, but with over 2,900 individual coral reefs and 300 continental islands, a visit to the largest living structure on Earth remains an experience of a lifetime. http://bit.ly/RNNnewsPeter89 Main Topic: Stand and Deliver The aquarium stand is often overlooked or at least glossed over as key piece of equipment. The stand is a functional part of setup that can be completely utilitarian, simply designed and functional, all the way up to a work of art that is just as much about the form as it is about the function and anywhere in between! Today we are going to discuss a few simple designs and methods that are very common in the hobby.
