Description
The AI Blade Coral Grow is a low-profile LED strip light available in seven lengths from 12 to 66 inches, designed for reef tanks that need even, broad-spectrum coverage. Its proprietary EdgeField optics deliver smooth color mixing, consistent PAR across the footprint, and a natural shimmer effect with minimal shadowing. The Coral Grow spectrum concentrates output in the 400–500nm range, targeting the deep blue through blue wavelengths that drive coral photosynthesis. Three or more Blade strips run in parallel can eliminate shadows and approximate the coverage quality of T5 fixtures at a lower cost. Smart control is available through the myAI or Mobius apps, and the fixture is MXM-compatible for Neptune Apex integration.

The AI Blade Coral Grow is built around AquaIllumination's EdgeField optics, which produce a 95-degree spread, even PAR distribution, and smooth color blending across the entire length of the fixture. Each cluster group contains 24 diodes—12 Royal Blue, 6 Blue, and 6 Cool White—arranged to deliver the balanced blue-dominant spectrum corals require for photosynthesis. The result is a wide, consistent blanket of light with the natural shimmer effect that reef keepers look for, without the uneven hot spots common to simpler strip designs.

The Coral Grow spectrum targets the 400–500nm range, making it the higher-PAR option in AI's Blade lineup. It works well on its own for systems that prioritize growth output, and it pairs cleanly with the Blade Coral Glow for hobbyists who also want enhanced fluorescence. AI recommends a 2:1 Grow-to-Glow ratio for peak performance, though a 1:1 mix is workable in lower-light applications. The Blade's modular format also makes it a practical choice for supplemental or fill lighting alongside existing pendant fixtures, including Hydra and Radion units via the Hybrid Mount accessory.

Seven length options—12.1 to 66.1 inches—allow the Blade to fit tanks of most standard dimensions. Passive cooling keeps the fixture silent, and IP66 water resistance means it can handle the humid, splash-prone environment above a reef tank without concern. Power consumption scales with length, ranging from 20W to 140W at full output. The universal 100–240V power supply handles both domestic and international electrical standards.

Control is handled wirelessly through the myAI or Mobius apps on iOS and Android, with onboard controls available for basic spectrum cycling. MXM compatibility brings the Blade into Neptune Systems Apex ecosystems alongside EcoTech Marine equipment, consolidating light and equipment control into a single interface. Fixtures up to 39 inches ship with a Tank Rest; fixtures over 39 inches include two Mounting Clips compatible with the AI HMS Single Arm Mount and HMS Hanging Kit. Elevated Tank Rests, Hanging Kits, Hybrid Mounts, and custom M8-threaded options are available separately for more demanding or aesthetic-driven installations.
