Aqua Illumination Blade Refugium LED - 12 Inch

Aqua Illumination Blade Refugium LED - 12 Inch Overview

The Aqua Illumination Blade Refugium LED - 12 Inch is a compact smart refugium light designed to support macroalgae growth, nutrient export, and controlled refugium illumination in marine aquarium systems. Built with AquaIllumination's EdgeField Optics, a refugium-specific red and blue spectrum, IP66 water resistance, silent passive cooling, and wireless app control, this fixture provides targeted lighting for sump refugiums and macroalgae chambers in a slim low-profile format.

The 12.1 in. Blade Refugium is ideal for compact refugiums, sump chambers, rear filtration compartments, and dedicated macroalgae grow areas where efficient controlled light is needed without a bulky fixture. It can be programmed through Mobius or myAI for reverse photoperiods, scheduled operation, and intensity control to match the needs of the refugium and nutrient export strategy.

Features of Aqua Illumination Blade Refugium LED - 12 Inch

• Refugium-specific spectrum: Designed for macroalgae growth and refugium performance rather than general aquarium display lighting.
• Red and blue LED output: Targeted spectrum supports photosynthetic macroalgae such as Chaetomorpha when nutrients, flow, and husbandry are appropriate.
• EdgeField Optics: Provides broad, even output and smooth coverage over refugium chambers and macroalgae zones.
• 95 degree optical spread: Wide spread helps distribute light across compact refugium areas more evenly.
• Compact 12.1 in. body: Fits many sump refugiums, rear chambers, and dedicated macroalgae grow areas.
• Silent passive cooling: Fanless heat sink design keeps operation quiet and avoids fan maintenance in humid sump areas.
• IP66 water resistance: Built with strong protection against particles and water exposure in aquarium environments.
• Wireless app control: Compatible with Mobius and myAI for schedule, intensity, and lighting profile programming.
• Reverse photoperiod capable: Can be scheduled opposite the display light cycle as part of a refugium lighting strategy.
• Neptune Apex capable: Compatible with Neptune Fusion when used with a compatible Apex system and MXM module.
• Tank Rest included: Includes low-profile Blade Tank Rest mounting for simple direct placement on compatible chambers or aquariums.
• Compact nutrient export support: Helps provide controlled lighting for macroalgae-based nutrient management in marine systems.

Compatibility/Notes for Aqua Illumination Blade Refugium LED - 12 Inch

• Designed for refugium and macroalgae applications, not as a primary display aquarium light.
• Macroalgae growth depends on available nitrate and phosphate, water flow, refugium size, water chemistry, photoperiod, harvesting routine, and overall system balance.
• Start with moderate intensity and photoperiod settings, then adjust gradually based on macroalgae response and nutrient levels.
• Keep the fixture protected from excessive salt creep, direct splashing, and standing water whenever possible.
• The included Tank Rest can extend up to 4.5 in. on either side of the fixture for additional mounting span.
• For Neptune Apex/Fusion control, a compatible Apex system and MXM module are required and sold separately.
