So i have a mostly LPS tank with a few softies in there. I am running 2 Hydra 26 HD on a 90 Gallon tank. My Question is what settings do you use for you lights and what is giving you the most growth. Thanks Guys
 
the ecotech SPS AB+ profile is the best i think for sps. i would think it would be good for all corals. you can also check out their signature series on their website for some ideas. just don't put the whites on too high

Hi Matthew, well I’ve always used the Red Sea settings as below and my corals grow very well as you will see on my build thread.

The lights come on at 11.30am with a 1 hour ramp up and then off at 10pm

I have a mix reef with more sps.
I am not following any preset profile but i have mine set to come on at 12pm ramp up 4 hrs to 4pm and are at max on all blue colors while white red and green are 17% max. Then ramp down from 9pm to 12am.
