I fairly recently replaced my trinity t5 fixture with a pair of hydra 26 hds’ and I was curious where others have their settings at. I noticed my zoas have some odd coloring changes so I’m wondering if I need to change something with how my lights are setup.

Whites are around 40%
Blue/royal both around 60%
UV 30%
Red/green 30%

I can post a screenshot but that’s where I have them set give or take.

I had a pretty gnarly gha outbreak to the point that I am basically starting back at square one

Turn down the red and green to about 4% for some reason algae grows quite rapidly with red and green and the white to 15% to. 20% the rest just gradually look at your corals and see how they respond
