Lighting

[greenhorn reefer]

I am using 2 hydra 26 and most of my coral seems happy except for my hammer. I've reduced my lighting to the settings, provided in the pictures. I also used acclimation cycle of 15% reduction a cross the board. Lastly, I moved the hammer to the sand bed. Any thoughts?

Can you post your peak channel settings? It's hard to tell what they are from the picture, but white light looks really low. Could you also post your tank dimensions and how high above the water you have the lights?

How high above the water is the bottom of the light?

Looks like you have about 9 hours of peak light, if I'm reading your schedule correctly. Peak sunlight (most intense) in most areas is only about 4-5 hours. IMO

I would try going up on the blues 5-10 % a week until the hammer looks better it might be due to low light. Also like they mentioned before I would do 4-5 hours of peak time and I would slowly ramp it up and down

Btw I have an Hydra 26 also and all my hammers are doing great but it did take some tweaking to get it right
