Hi - i recently replaced my AI Hydra 52HD with 2 AI Hydra 26HD for better coverage. I want to keep my settings. If my AI Hydra 52 was outputting 62 watts of power, do I make the AI Hydra 26 output 31 watts of power since I have 2 of those? Or do I continue outputting 62 watts of power for both AI Hydra 26’s? I’m just confused how it works. Is each puck outputting 62 watts of power or are are the 4 combined pucks on the 52 outputting 62 watts of power?

These are the settings I’ve always used in my Red Sea S650 which has 4 hydra 26s, other than I go ‘blue’ in the evenings

There the Red Sea reef spec settings and work very will at growing corals

Thx for your settings. I guess what I’m asking is if you switched over to 2 hydra 52’s, would you use the same settings?

Trying to figure out if that output is per puck or combined?
