AI Hydra HD Settings

Does anyone have a good setting program for softies in a JBJ 29 Nanocube? Im thinkin mine are a bit bright..
The ecolab ab+ schedule seems to be very popular. If you did those settings tuned way down thatd work great ;)

I've tried running 14K, but have gone back to the LPS/SPS spectrum from https://ecotechmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ReefWholesale_CoralLab.pdf. I switched back (and it does look quite blue) as the various stores and reefers who are growing frags out run pretty blue tanks to try to optimize coloration and fluorescence.

I also switched as I was having some Ricordea bleaching issues, and was advised that excessive white light may have contributed rather than excessive UV (I was getting bleaching with new Ricordea even with the UV turned way down with Ricordea almost shaded in the side corner of the tank with minimum light).
 
So here are some popular presets that you're able to import via the AI app (from your computer). If you're not a fan of so much blue, some of the AI signature series presets have more day light to them

David Saxby (probably the most widely used AI preset)..

BRS mimic of the Coral AB+ spectrum (settings right at the 11 min mark)..

And here's my settings.. (although I have the older non-HD Prime, so one of the colors is different)..

I went with a slightly modified Leon Tan program from the website and like it a lot. I tried the AB+ initially but I think the high UV did some damage to my coral. Here is mine. SPS, LPS and a few softies all doing fine with it.
