AI Hydra 52 HD and SPS

[rayn]

I just picked up a hydra 26 hd the other day. Still looking for ways to hang it, besides their brackets. May still go with them.

Point is, my Kessil went out and I needed a new light for the drag tank. Linking it up to myAI and playing around with it, it is a amazing light and blows the Kessil away. I was planning MH over my DT, but strongly considering going with these or jumping to the 52.

My 52s (non HD) will bleach an acro 13 inches deep above 55% with the best colors coming in at closer to 45%.

kinda makes me wonder why they bothered with the HD model......i guess for putting corals on the bottom of 36 inch deep tanks....

Are there any tutorials on using the app?

These are for the Prime, but it's the same app on the Hydra26HD or Hydra52HD
IOS
Android

Thanks, I have that part.
What I am after is setting up the "sunrise/sunset with the ramp up as well as setting different light intensities for different times of the day.

I used the manual mode and hit the color wheel (hightlighted below, its sneaky) to find the channel settings for the temp I was looking for:

Then I went into the "Easy Setup" and set a lights on and lights out time.

The lunar mode was a little confusing for me. In order for it to work you have to set one of the channels (I used Deep Blue) to a minimum ramp of ~5% and then the lunar function will ramp that from 0-5% thru the month.
