Need help properly adjusting Hydra HD lighting on Reefer

MCooper · Mar 14, 2018

Hey everyone,
So I have had my 3 Hydra HD's on the easy setup for the past year, but I wanna adjust it and change some stuff around. For some reason I seem to be not figuring it out and feel I am probably just overlooking something so wanted to post and see if anyone can help.
I want to change how sundown mainly is, less of everything except that actinic blue feature to see corals pop at the end of the night.
Every time I try to change the time and effect, it does it immediately, and not at the desired time.

Any good resources to figure this out?

What controller are you using ?

Let’s #reefsquad and try to find some other owners.

That is the question! How are you trying to control them? I know there are many Hydra users out there that can help.

You can manually set the intensities per channel. I have mine ramping up with blue and royal blue being highest. Be careful with the white LED intensity, you can fry corals easily with it.

I have found using a internet browser works best for me and use manual. If you would take a screen shot of your current setting and post them, this would also help

Thanks so much. @jsker I would love a setting like yours, how do I use an internet browser as you said?

Will try and post what I have today.

Thank you everyone already for the input!

Log into the AI cloud via the web browser on a computer. I have big fingers and found it much easier to use a mouse and larger format to adjust the light. With the app and browser one can also upload presets from other users by using the star in the app and share icon in the browser.

I have just started using an AI Prime, and have been using this program from Stuart Bertram for the last few days and my corals immediately responded [my BTA, Acans and a couple of my SPS in particular]

There are a number of programs there, but warning to make sure you adequately acclimate if you use a more intense program than you previously ran.
