Okay experts new guy on reef having issues with picking schedules for two Hydra 26's over red Sea 260 tank.
I tried to switch over to a AI program for LPS based off a proven SPS program but at 50% reduction but noticed wattage figure much lower (18w) with UV Spectrum/violet much higher than previously running but blues much lower.
Previous was output of 28w with 20% higher blues 30% lower uv and 20% lower purple no diff in white/red/green.
Now my Duncan and frogspawn & Hammer don't want to open and really extend logic would tell me much lower par since much lower wattage and they are not liking it....?....or not ? So is the schedule flawed... Was supposed to be better but doesn't initially look good by coral reactions
Can I just use the two-finger method and slide up the power across the board to equal Wattage previously running leavinging Spectrum alone and hence my question is par really par and if run the same wattage will it automatically be the same par just diff spectrum...
Let me hear your thoughts....lol
