New to Reef Sanctuary....first post.
Need advice from the AI Hydra users out there. I am trying to dial in the light settings for (2) new Hydra 26 units hanging 14" above water on my DSA Neo 105. Last night I used a par meter to adjust the light setting to achieve approx. 115 par 2" above sand bed.
The settings used to achieve this were: UV (35%), Violet (75%), Deep Blue (75%), Royal Blue (95%), Green (55%), Red (35%) & Cool White (25%).
Based on your experience is this too much light? These guys seem pretty powerful. I have mixed reef (Monti's, acros, acans etc.) & the standard rule of thumb is roughly 120 PAR on sand bed for SPS? I am using the acclimation setting at 40% reduction for 45 days.
Any suggestions and sharing of light settings would be greatly appreciated!
