4 Hydra HD 32s and 2 ATI Blue Plus and 2 ATI Actinic.

I have backed the intensity down on the Hydras as the PAR was hitting 500+ on the top corals.
The Actinics are at 80% for 5 hours, plus ramp up\down
The Blue+ are at 35% for 5 hours, plus ramp up\down

The attached pic is at a lower intensity than described above.

I have the exact setup 4 32hd and 2 blues 2 actinics.

I haven’t got the cable to dim my t5 yet so they are just on at 12-6pm. What cable did you use?

as far as your hydra what’s your intensity at? I have 100 on blues and purples with whites maxing out at 28

I got the Kessil cable from BRS.

Here's the Hydra config...definitely nothing fancy. lol

T5's come on at 3:00pm and go off at 10:25pm.
