Aqua Illumination Blade Coral Grow LED - 12 Inch

Overview of Aqua Illumination Blade Coral Grow LED - 12 Inch

The Aqua Illumination Blade Coral Grow LED - 12 Inch is a compact smart reef strip light designed to deliver balanced coral-growth spectrum, even PAR distribution, smooth colour blending, and a clean low-profile installation over smaller marine aquariums. Built with AquaIllumination's EdgeField Optics and a Coral Grow spectrum focused through the 400-500 nm range, this fixture is ideal for nano reefs, small frag systems, supplemental lighting, and compact reef displays where efficient usable light and minimal shadowing are important.

The 12 Inch Coral Grow is the smallest model in the Blade Coral Grow lineup, making it a strong choice for short aquariums, rear-chamber systems, nano reef applications, and targeted lighting zones. It can be used on its own for suitable low to moderate reef applications, paired with additional Blade fixtures for broader coverage, or combined with Blade Coral Glow fixtures when additional fluorescence and colour pop are desired.

Aqua Illumination Blade Coral Grow LED - 12 Inch Features

• Coral Grow spectrum: Balanced blue and white reef spectrum with output in the 400-500 nm range to support coral photosynthesis and natural reef presentation.
• EdgeField Optics: Custom optical design delivers even PAR, smooth colour mixing, excellent spread, and reduced harsh spotlighting.
• 95 degree spread: Wide-angle output helps wrap light around aquascape high points and reduce shadowing compared with narrower strip-style lighting.
• Natural shimmer: Specular optical design preserves a crisp reef shimmer while maintaining the smoother spread of a linear fixture.
• Compact 12.1 in. body: Ideal for nano reef aquariums, small frag tanks, rear filtration chambers, and focused supplemental lighting applications.
• IP66 water resistance: Built for the demanding marine aquarium environment with strong protection against dust and water exposure.
• Passive silent cooling: Fanless design provides quiet operation with no fan noise above the aquarium.
• Smart app control: Compatible with Mobius and myAI for wireless spectrum, intensity, and schedule programming from a compatible mobile device.
• Apex integration capable: Compatible with Neptune Apex Fusion control when used with a compatible Apex system and MXM module.
• Low-profile Tank Rest included: Included Tank Rest allows the fixture to sit cleanly on the aquarium and extend up to 4.5 in. on either side.
• Modular reef lighting: Can be used alone, stacked with additional Blade fixtures, or used as fill lighting alongside Hydra, Radion, T5, or other reef lighting systems.
