AquaIllumination Blade Coral Grow Smart LED Strip

Aquarium lighting, your way. The AquaIllumination Blade Coral Grow is a slim, modular smart LED strip that delivers a balanced blue and white growth spectrum tuned for coral photosynthesis. Its exclusive EdgeField optics spread light in a wide 95 degree beam with even PAR, smooth color mixing, and a natural shimmer, so a single strip blankets your tank with minimal shadowing. Run one as your main light, stack several in parallel for T5-like coverage at a fraction of the cost, or add one as supplemental fill over an existing fixture. Available in seven lengths from 12 to 66 inches. Explore the rest of our saltwater and reef gear.

Why the AI Blade

• Balanced blue and white Coral Grow spectrum (deep blue through blue, 400 to 500 nm) built for coral photosynthesis and strong PAR
• EdgeField optics deliver even PAR, a 95 degree spread, smooth color mixing, and a natural shimmer with minimal shadowing
• Modular: run one solo, stack several in parallel for full, T5-like coverage, or add as supplemental fill lighting
• IP66 water resistant with passive, completely silent cooling
• Smart control through the myAI or Mobius apps, plus onboard controls, and MXM compatible with Neptune Apex
• 24 diodes per cluster group (12 Royal Blue, 6 Cool White, 6 Blue), roughly one cluster per foot

Choose your length

Match the fixture length to your tank. Longer fixtures cover bigger tanks and can be combined for even more coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Grow and Glow? The Grow spectrum maximizes PAR and coral growth, while the Glow spectrum maximizes fluorescence and color. Many reefers run a 2:1 Grow to Glow ratio for the best of both.

Can I combine several Blades? Yes. Stack three or more in parallel for shadow-free, even coverage comparable to T5, with greater efficiency.

Is this for freshwater? This is the reef Coral Grow spectrum. The Blade platform also offers a separate Freshwater spectrum model.

How do I control it? Wirelessly through the free myAI or Mobius apps, with onboard controls on the fixture, and via Neptune Apex through MXM.
