Anyone running multiple hydra 26 HD’s on their tank with the aquatic life T5 hybrid? What’s everyone running their LEDs at. Been running ab+ but seems like a ton of light. I have a mixed reef 20” deep. Thanks!

I have also been running the aquatic life with hydras. I have 2x blue+ and 2x corallife aticnic. I can send you my hydra schedule if you would like. I have them turned wayyyyyyy down and ramp up in the evening after t5s go out.

I run 48” AL fixture. Currently have 3 AI pucks but switching to radions next week. I run 2 blue plus and 2 coral plus. I prefer a whiter, more natural look during day, then when T5 switches off the LEDs ramp down in a more blue vibe for pop at night time.

Also, I think T5 lights can be deceiving. I thought I was getting way more light than I was. I have my little AI pucks blasting after checking par, but hydras and radions are a different story entirely.

I run 4 - hydras 26hds in a 48” fixture with 2 - blue+, 2 - actinic

Hydras are running the “new” BRS settings

sps dominate then? Do you happen to know what you’re getting for par? I’m looking to do the same thing just have to add 2 more hydras . If you have any pictures would be cool too
