I've got 2 hydras on my 75 gal reef . I also have the "wireless" controller . My question is this. My tank just cycled and I'm looking to put a fish or two . Does anyone recommend any preset settings or do you make your own. I'm displeased with the lack of info provided with the lights for the money .

The average set up would be like, 75% Blues, 40-50% White. TInkering with the lighting at that point would all be your choice of coloring.
I just run mine at 100%

Yea I figured that it would be a preference thing. Just would be nice if there was a start up settings for people. I've been running mine anywhere between 65-100%. Thanks for answering!!

If u don't have any corals in the tank I would only turn on the light when I'm there keep the algae down. I have 52's on my 90 and have them set at 60 for blues and 40 whites I like to use the presets to ramp up and down. Good luck!
