Hydra 26 HD & Aqutic Life T5 Combo

[Travis Stewart]

Was running two hydra 26 had on a 48” tank when I first started the tank. Eventually added a prime to the middle of those. Later down the road with more SPS, I added the T5 combo. 2x coral + and 2x actinic bulbs. Recently I just traded out the prime for a third hydra 26 HD. Curious to what you guys are running your LEDs at. Trying really hard to guess without a par meter which I’ll soon be using. Thanks in advance!

I had 4 hydra 26's in the aquatic life fixture. I ran the BRS AB+ Schedule and kept the light around 10" off the waters surface. Everything seemd to like it

How big was your fixture? Thanks crabs!

It was the 48" aquatic life over an aqueon 75 gallon reef ready tank.
I had 4 hydra 26's but could have probably gotten away with 2. The center brace made me nervous

I have three on a rimless which I think is plenty and currently have leds on ab+. Hopefully that’s where I need to be. Thanks again for your response. What are you running now?

No idea, I tore the tank down last march lol. Had a water issue I couldn't track down and ended up getting out of the hobby for a while. Itching to get back in though

I have the same setup with 2 26’s and was thinking about putting a 52 centered on the center brace instead of two 26’s. You think that would work alright?
