Hello,
So I just set-up my Reefer 170 Tank. I need help with my Hydra 26 HD light settings for my Euphyllia, specifically Wall Hammers and Zoa dominated tank. The light is sitting 12” from water line. My focus is to get:

-Best Coloration
-Growth

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Alot of users seem to like the AB+ settings from ecotech coral lab. These setting intensities are intended for sps corals though. For soft corals and euphyllia though I'd do the same settings, just dial the intensity way down as they require little lighting. Here are the sps settings, start out low and work up.
