Ai Hydra 26 Setting Set Up

[Calireefer92]

Hello I have a red sea reefer 425xl with 2 hydra 26. my settings are at red sea recommendations. I'm noticing that the lights are too high because I'm getting so much Diatoms Algae. Any tips and Information would help so much

Welcome to R2R!

If this is a new tank, diatoms are going to be completely normal and part of your maturing process regardless of your light settings #WelcometoR2R

check out the sps ab+ profile. it's supposed to mimic the radions, which have had a lot of testing. for other ideas, you can look at the signature series on AI's website. diatoms are completely normal though as crabs said and are expected for a new tank

I’ve had the tank running for 2 months now. What would be the best way to counteract it. Just a clean up crew? And if so how much would you recommend for 112 gallon and what type of clean up grew would you recommend

Can you share your light settings that you currently have?

Turn the white spectrum down to %20 for no more then 5 hours

I run something very similar. Modified it a bit so I have longer ramp up and down. Aka longer viewing window for me

UV and the Violet is to high for my tastes and the blues are to low.

AI made it so by clicking a link with settings, one can upload the settings from someone else and one can try different setting and tweak them

@jsker do you have this file somewhere else? It’s not finding it when I click on the link.

This is the one I just downloaded. Looked somewhat similar to yours. I would just need to make adjustments as the lights are on to long into the night.

That is strange, sorry it not working for you. Let me figure this out.

Can you delete that last post of mine. For some reason the non blacked out pic was uploaded with some personal info.
