Added the AI Hydra with the AI Director. Purchased the single unit hanging kit from reefgeek.http://i.imgur.com/4k4dqI4.jpg

Nice! You planning to add a second hydra?

One day perhaps, I'm very satisfied with it thus far. Pretty surprised it covered as much as it does and its only at 35% on most colors. I bought 2 acros this weekend so i'll gauge the growth over the next few months and decide. Your review helped a lot though so thanks for doing that.

Looks good man! I'm running a similar 65 DSA tank but not rimless with 2 hydras/director. What kind of switchable power strip are you using, i like it.

No problem bro! Glad someone got some use out of it! Did you ever get that scuba steve you were looking for?

I went with the American DJ 8plug strip from guitar center, saw many people using it and my sump area isn't enclosed so wasn't worried about moisture. You liking your director?

May be picking up a frag today if all goes as planned

I'm loving the Director so far. It lags a bit when first pulling it up in a web browser, but once it's open, its good. Needs a few updates as well.

Can you please measure for me how tall the mounting bracket is on the DJ strip? I'm looking to get one, but want to make sure it'll fit where I want it to in my stand, also if possible, can you measure ho far from the mounting bracket, the switches stick out in front of the unit. Thanks Mark!

Sry I didn't see the replies but the mounting bracket for these are on the sides and protrude about 1/2in mabalil more. Swiches maybe 2-3mm max.
