Marksreef · Feb 10, 2020

No their all not happy.

hydra 52 or 52HD?

can you post a screenshot of your schedule, and how high off the water your light is?
there is no such thing as a normal, setting or value for either, it will be different on everybody's tank.
and we can't guess how yours are setup.

Can you post a pic of your tank?

Visual cues are sometimes available that by ourselves we overlook.

Numbers will help also...

while you're at it, can you post a FTS?

More info would help us narrow down your issue. If you've been in this 20 years that makes you dang near my age & I forget ALOT of basics on occasion ... lol (I have a great memory, it just doesn't last long) If you can get params as temp, Alk,Cal,mag and nitrate for starters - we can go from there.

Thanks, Everyone.
In my original thread is the link to the" test results" I had Triton do.
I have the Hydra52 HD's they are about 11 inches off the water. I'll do a screen shot tomorrow but I say normal because Ive had them a year at this setting and everything was going great till something went south.
The tank is 5 years old.
Pictures tomorrow.
I added carbon last week with a water change and just added fresh carbon with a large water change. I do %10 weekly but mostly %18 bi weekly.
