Hey all, i'm currently running two AI Hydra 26 HDs over my 4 foot 75 gallon display tank. The tank is a mixed reef with SPS, LPS and Softies. My SPS have never had great coloration or polyp extension. What do other people running two Hydra 26's or 32's on a 4 foot mixed reef have their settings at. I don't have access to a par meter but going to try and rent one when i can. Here are my current settings

Check out the brs video as a guide for par and settings and then you can do math to figure out what would work for your situation. I can do the later if you need me to. Could you post a pic of the tank so I could get a better idea of coral placement ?

You can definitely raise the intensity. They look like they are mounted very high but I am not 100% sure. What height are they at?

Here is that BRS video for a guide on mounting height and par numbers.
