Hydra 26

[Nano_reefer29]

Hi everyone, I am new to the Hydra 26 and I'm not sure what settings I should start out with. I have a biocube 29 with the following livestock.

2 clownfish
Frogspawn
Jack-o'-lantern lepto
Yuma
Twizzler zoanthids

I'm looking for other people's suggestions for settings, as I do not want to fry my current corals.

Start with no more than 15% white for sure i have mine at 25 max on whites for a 50 gal. Also blues start like at 40 or so then slowly increase 5% each week or so until you reach the desire lighting you want and feel is appropriate.

Agree with above. It’s the white channel that will fry your corals. The other channels are more forgiving and in many cases more beneficial for color and growth with led lighting.
