Hydra 52HD settings

[Eric Morissette]

Currently running with soft and leather corals, i'm new with the hydra about 3 to 4 months just wondering whats a good setting for my JBJ 45 light is about 10" away from the water and my current settings are on the following picture

BUMP! Maybe somebody in the #reefsquad with Hydras can weigh in.

I would definitely tone down the UV.
This is what I'm using for a mixed reef with SPS and LPS
my lights are about 9 - 9 1/2 inches off the water.
Tank is 20" deep

Would that be ok to run on hydra hd 26's?

absolutely. I'm using two 26HD's over a 36 x 24 x 20 tank.

I should also note, I'm using these settings because my LFS is using the exact same over a mixed reef, great growth and polyp extension with it.

Thank you, I have the Red Sea reefer 250 my dimensions are the same. Having trouble with my candy canes and Duncan's not opening.

hm, interesting, could have just been the light settings then.

mine comes on at 12noon (2 hour ramp) max settings hold from 2:00PM until 8:00PM then ramps down for 2 hours until 10:00PM when lights go out.

Awesome I will try that, do you know how to change ramp up and ramp down times in an already existing program or do I need to make a new one. Sorry for all the questions I'm seven months new!

If you click the star you can save the current schedule. Then manipulate the times and save it under a new name so you can switch between them
