What do you keep your setting at on your AI HYDRA HD LED'S?

FLSharkvictim · Dec 6, 2016

I have had my Hydra TwentySix HD LED's running about 4 months and i was wondering where do you kept your setting at on your Hydra lights! Also, how long do you run them when they are fully rampped up.. Let me know!

I run these setting below for 7hrs w/ a 1 hr ramp up and a 1hr ramp down..
UV: 100%
Violet: 100%
Royal Blue 100%
Blue 67%
Green: 20%
Red: 20%
White: 60%

TANK INFO:
120 Mixed Reef

Not the HD but here's my schedule, running a rough 15 hours with ramp up and down with only blues and some red.

I would say you can bring up your Red and Green some more, personally like the green during peak or for the white look without using the actual white. The reds I like having them on during the ramp up because of the more purple look to the blue.

Just curious what are the dimensions on your tank? I've been looking at two of the 26's for my 48" 75g mixed reef tank. Do you feel they light the tank adequately?

I have two 26s over my 75 and I haven't had any problems so far. I actually just tried out my new Seneye and was at around 110-140 up top and in the 60s-70s on the bottom. This is with the old 26s (not the HD) with UV, V, and blues at 50, red and green 10, and whites at 30.
