Hydra 26

[Zos4me]

I just purchased a new hydra 26 and I am replacing a kessil a 160. Can anyone tell me what to start it at to acclimate my corals to about what the kessil was putting out
Thanks in advance

Do not use the acclimation setting that it already on the hydra. I’d say start at like 50% with the blues and no higher than 20% for the white. Then increase intensity 5% for each color weekly until you reach the desired lighting you want.

Ok great thanks

keep the whites at least half of what your blues are. Too much white will bleach the corals.

This is my schedule. Might help you out some.
