Hydra 32 help

[TommyDelaney]

I have three hydra 32 mounted 12 inches off the water over a 5x2x2 ft 133gallon. I run them at 90% for all the blue/violet/uv/royal channels and 3% on white, my green and red are at 4% and moonlight at 0. I run them from 830 to 830 lights out. I have not seen much coral growth. Is this because of there being so little white or too little par? I like a bluer tank look but still want the corals to thrive. Any suggestions or is lighting good with the problem being something else? Anyone willing to share their lighting schedule for their hydra 32 to compare? Thanks yall.

Did you create your own settings? Check out the AI groups on FB. There's so many files to choose from! I personally use a modified Saxby on the whiter side and getting good growth. A lot of people swear by the AB+ but I'm happy with what my settings.

Are you talking about sps growth? What's your water parameters? Are you dosing?

Ya I turned the blues up to 100 and then turned the white until it looked good then just toned everything down so it wasn’t too intense. I have sps up at the very top and lps middle to bottom. I’m dosing alk cal mag strontium iodine and essential trace elemenst. My parameters according to trident are 8.1 ph, 8.6 alk, 475 cal, 1350 mag. I’ll check out the fb group thanks!
