AI Hydra Edge Settings

[areefer01]

Is anyone using David Saxby's settings? How do you even import them into Mobius?

Did he move over to the new Hydra's?

Check under templates and see if there is a load or import option. The other option is to use the presets I believe.

So I just got these mounted on my IM 170. Used the HMS multi light bar. I have two 44s and a 68 in the center. I'm planning to have SPS in this one, with some LPS/Softies on the bottom. Plus Clams.

Their Moonlight is only white on these, right? I do prefer a blue moonlight, but I don't think that's an option.

I set up a Solar Blue with only 25% whites instead of 100%. And I set the Moonlight to go all night.

I do love the shimmer on these.

And does anyone make diffusers for these? I got shades from Printed Reef, but still wonder if I can soft them a bit. (Maybe lowering them will get them out of my eyes! I'm too short.)

Used to use Saxby when I ran AI glow bars. Solar just looks so much better than Saxby in my opinion. The Saxby setting looked too blue. these lights are great been running them for over a year now. Just make sure you par test on whatever setting you settle for.

I saw above someone was saying you could still use his settings from the older lights, but...

AI does not have a lot of options in their presets. Just 3. And nothing fun like Radions have. Radions have "Cloudy" and Lightning Storms. (And choice of blue or white moonlight.) AI needs to get cracking with these!

Blue is definitely an acquired taste. I have a Radion running on my 40 gallon and it took me a minute, but I've acclimated myself to the blues and now I really like their settings. AI is a bit lacking in choices. I may try to mimic the settings from Radion, but they are not exactly comparable.

Can confirm you can still use his settings. But his settings were made for the old hydras. I don’t know if the colors differ. Just know the old solar looked and performed great. Been running that for a while
