Hi All, I have an aquatic life t5 hybrid with 4 hydra 26 LEDs over my 120 gal 4x2x2. All sps. Couple Montis, leptoseris and a bunch of acropora. Anacropora, millis, Tenuis etc..
How high are y'all running the lights above the water and what are your hydra 26 settings with this set up. I am currently running my lights 8" off the water and the T5s from 7am to 6pm. B+, actinic, actinic, B+...The hydras come on at 7am with a 4hr ramp up. Peak intensity for the hydras are running
UV:5%
V: 50%
RB: 50%
B: 50%
Green:5%
Red:5%
White: 5%. The hydras ramp down over 4hrs as well. Having some issues with growth and color. I've got it narrowed down to lighting or carbon stripping my tank.
Nitrate is 12.3ppm
Po4: .4(my coral guy runs his po4 high as well and his sps tank is a jaw dropper)
Cal: 480
Kh: 8.0
Mag: 1430. Only difference from my tank and my coral guy is he runs T5s and reefbrite. My parameters are identical to his. Thanks
 
You have a picture of your tank lit up? I’m going with the same set up on my 90 just 2 hydra 26 not 3
