I have a 180 SPS dominant reef running 3 AI Hydra 52 HD's. My question is I am not sure my spectrum or intensity is correct. I have a little growth on some of the pieces but others have not grown, they are not bleaching, PE still pretty decent. Anyone out there have a schedule that has been proven to color and grow well. Should I be supplementing with T5's, if so what color bulbs and how many?

This is the program I use with great results on SPS, LPS, and Zoas...
You can download the profile here... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Byl1iTuW5PcIMkJQME1LaVMydWM
... in the upper right there is an icon to download the file
Then you should be able to import it with the AI Director. It is a standard AI Hydra profile (not HD), but I believe it should convert for you.

If you load that profile, then you should use the acclimation mode in "Effects" with a 50% reduction on all channels for 45-60 days. Slower the better.
