I just upgraded to the Hydra edge 68. I am using the presets on the mobius app. It seems very blue. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with this light. I know I can do a custom schedule, but wouldn’t even know where to begin. Thanks!

Hey there, sounds like what you're asking for is recommendations on people's custom schedules?

I am running mine at the following:

UV - 40%
Violet - 75%
Blue/Royal - 125%
White - 60-80% (depending on time of day)

Those are rough numbers but you can just do something like that

A good general starting point is to have your blue/royal the highest, your whites half of that, and your violet and UV wherever you want - I have them both lower just to get more power into my blues because I'm trying to grow Acro frags

The Hydra Edge 68s are a little underpowered for what you pay for.

Anyway hope that helps.
