Afternoon All,

Back again asking for help. I have a 2month old blue marine 160 and brought an AI hydra 64 last week. I’m having an algae issue and am currently running the light with everything on 50% and in acclimation mode. What settings are the best for viewing and coral growth. I want it more blue.

Thanks again all for the help

My Hydra 64 and 3 Prime 16s run at this for their peak on my 2 tanks. You have too much red, green, and white from my limited knowledge which is contributing to the algae growth.

You really want to cut down on the red, green, and white spectrums to promote more blue/pop. I would change all three of these to 5-10%, and see if that doesn't achieve the look you're after.
