I have the radion hanging from the ceiling and the two t 5 units mounted on the edges of the tank , one in front and one in back with the radion in the middle . There are so many shadows with a tall tank the t5s became necessary , once I put them on the was a dramatic improvement with growth and color.

I am running one hydra 26hd...I have my blues at about 75% white at about 35 and others around 10-15...
I am about to add a second 26hd for more even coverage.. would I need to lower the totals for both lights by a percentage? Or run acclimation mode or what?

I run my radion gen 3 at 70% with lenses and started it out at 50%.
Led's will smoke your corals if there too intense . With two I would probably start them at 50% and acclimate until you hit hat sweet spot of color and growth ... It will take some time to work out witch color ratios are best . The main things to look for are if the corals are closing up and the tips are changing colors . As long as you add intensity over time you shouldn't have any issues . Have you given any thought to adding t5 ?
