I'm upgrading to a bigger tank was thinking of keeping my hydra 26 lights and just adding another one since they are still new. Has anyone used these lights and seen good coral growth? And what was your overall thought on these lights?

There the Red Sea standard lights and I’ve used them for nearly 3 years to very good effect so I can highly recommend them

I do wish they would make a 5" higher bracket though!
I have a diy bracket you can make any height you want!

Big fan--- Definitely will grow sps but it does take some time to dial it into your specific system--- Here is a frag grown under strictly hydra 26s (I did just add a bank of T5s to see if I can achieve better coloration but I personally have been very content with the colors achieved with just the AIs (UC Dipping dots getting approx. 275 PAR - Measured by Apogee)

Happy with mine. Using the presets found on the AI site and all corals - zoas, shrooms, acans, euphylia, montis, acros, etc all do well

I have had my UC Dippin Dots for around 8 months which was a pretty good chunk to begin with. That particular branch in the picture sprouted out about 2 months after I got it--- realistically that was about 6 months growth IMO
