I’m using this with 2 hydras 13” above my 40 with good results.

I recommend checking out these presets:

Signature Series - AquaIllumination

www.aquaillumination.com

I used to run similar settings to those above, but switched to these presets recently after seeing how they fluctuate intensity throughout the day.
