Lighting upgrade

[stevolough]

I’m updating from hydra 26’s to 32’s. Going to set percentages to the same as the 26’s. 26’s are about six years old. I’m assuming there will be a difference. How much of an accumulation period would you think they would need?

If you have access to a PAR meter you'll be able to gauge the difference. I'd probably figure out the new PAR first as it might be too much of an adjustment for the corals.

I have a 215 Gal 6’ mixed reef, running 3 G3Pros that need to be replaced after 3-4 years. Have been out of the market for lights. What recommendation and/or configurations do people have?

I had good luck with the hydra 26’s. They even replaced one out of warranty. I just bought the 32’s because the 26’s are discontinued. Didn’t want a situation where i was scrambling to replace one if it stopped working and the Black Friday deals are about as good as it gets price wise.
