I changed my hydra32 settings based on the last video they made over the 6 month lighting experiment over my 13.5 gallon. It it’s obviously not an exact match but inline with the point of the video. I’ll update how the coral do in a few weeks. It absolutely reminds me of metal halide.

Not making a direct recommendation, but I believe consideration to the green channel should be given. Every gas burning bulb out there contains a green mercury vapor spike, and the wide band green diodes will spill into the high 400’s low 500’s to truly round out the spectrum. Just a thought.
 
If you notice the spectrum graph in the background there’s green already in it probably from the white light

All is going well with the settings. The coral is doing great. First thing I noticed was my dkh dropped a full point in a week and the polyp extension is noticeable. The biggest difference is with the frogspawn and the montipora digi. The mushrooms really look happier too.

The only change I made was to drop the whites for the last hour of the day strictly for my viewing pleasure. I’m keeping these settings. Again, this is from a hydra 32.
