Suggestions for Hydra 26

[Jeana Morgan]

We have a JBJ 45g (26.50 x 20.98 x 18.98) using a Hydra 26 light about 10” above the tank. We’ve been downloading profiles for the light but I’m conserned about how strong they our for our tank. We have a mixed reef, everything looks good and opening just worried because we added a BTA and it immediately went into hiding (I know they are finicky and this is part of their nature) but he has hid and is in a spot that doesn’t get a lot of light. I’m starting to think the blues are too strong for it/the whole tank. Our current profile we are using is JP’s Coral Grower. Any suggestions or feed back is greatly appreciated!

Coral List:
Mushrooms (all types)
Duncan’s
GSP
Australian Elegance
Tortch

Can you help out Jeana with the Hydra and her concerns?

Thanks, Freddie

If you can move the lights up to 12 inches you will have a better spread. The anemone will move if the light is to much for it
What are your settings now?

My husband just changed it to David Saxby’s setting because I suggested the blues were too much. I attached what the schedule looks like now.

How has this worked for you? Same intensity?
