I am told that the Hydra 26 HDs came with the settings on a pice of paper. I must have thrown it away as I do not have it. Can anyone help with what Red Sea recommend for color light power and schedule for a mix reef?

I am having some LPS issues and I believe it’s the lights because my parameters are good.

What are your parameters? Salinity, calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, temp, nitrate? If you test with a swing arm hydrometer and API kits I would immediately discredit those results.

Salinity is 1.024
Calcium is 450
Alk was at 12 and is now at 10.2
Magnesium is 1360
Temp is 78
Nitrite is 0
Nitrate is around 4
Phosphate is .08
Antonia 0

I use Red Sea Pro test kits.

I had a bad bacterial bloom that I got rid of with UV sterilizer. Could it be that these LPS (Frog Spawn and Hammer) were effected by the bacterial bloom and the bacteria could have caused this?

My bubble coral also recently died.
