I recently started keeping sps I have a Hydra 26 turned up to 53 watts wondering if I have them high enough
 
I had the hydra 26's but change over to the 52's cause I wanted more coverage. I run my lights program that is identical to the Radium 15k bulbs wave lengths. Except there is no yellow. Which the radium has but very minimal. This is my settings. I start to ramp up at 12pm and then ramp down at 7pm off at 9pm. So far so good with this program.

My tank is 30x30x18 cube and it sits around 14" above my tank.
