Could we get some acropora pics?

 

[RareEarthCorals]

Its lights out tonight, but I can take one in the morning. Its new and a small frag, my tank is mostly LPS and other softies. My plan is to add more since I have the light and can handle it. The back of the tank will be sps and the front everything else.

Best I got from an earlier photo. The Acro is red and sitting in the back of the rock.

You want some great sps action based on a hydra 52 take a look at Tahoe61 tank here on this forum. She has some beautiful stuff.

Can't wait to get mine ( tomorrow) and swap out the kessil 360we

The only thing that would of put this light over the top would have been the ability to saving different settings. The only way to change it without losing your most important settings is manually, and you cant save it.

Uggg, that's disappointing. Maybe they'll release a software update to fix that.

You are going to enjoy it! Its fun to play around with the settings. My corals have never looked so good.

Good to hear. My corals have been doing a slow death under the kessil. Lose colors then turn brown. Polyp extension goes away and then a week it stn finishes them off.

Never had this issue with my old diy LEDs.

@RareEarthCorals I am thinking about replacing my Orbit Marine LED with the Hydra 26 and was looking around at reviews and found yours. After 5 Months how is the light preforming and did you get your programming worked out?

72 gal 48L x 18 W x 21 deep I am looking a purchasing 2 hydra 26's

IMO, you are going to want more than 2 26s.... 2 52s would be more appropriate... I have two 26s on my 24x24 cube.....

I love the lights, I have had mine for about 3 months (just added the second a few week ago)... corals seem to be responding well and growing, I have only added one acro, but it seems to be doing ok thus far and growing fast...

Agreed I have a 90, same dimension just a little taller and have 2 52 HDs over it and they're perfect! Great color on my sps

Love to see what settings you are running
