You need to max those blues out.

Any particular reason ?

Bc you don’t have enough light. Hydra 26 are not that powerful. I have 2-26s 14” above a 29g biocube sps scrap tank. You have 3 on a 150g (?). What’s your maxed wattage with those settings? 55-60 watts?

I don’t think lighting is an issue. I have primes over my tank. I started experiencing success when I stopped chasing the alk ghost keeping my alk between 10 and 11 dkh. In fact, anytime my alk was over 8.5 all growth stopped in my tank. My alk averages between 7.9 and 8.3. I’ve gone periods of time within 7.2. But that’s when I could see actual growth (encrusting, new coralites, etc...). I am constantly fragging the green slimer so be careful what you wish for.

Hi what settings do you run on your prime?

I run 2 hydra 52 HD’s 16” over my 50g cube display.

and a prime 16 hd 9” over my 6 gallon side frag tank

Nice. Your T5’s are doing most of the heavy lifting and your primes are just supplements. I don’t think primes only would be able to support enough light for that tank. Well done though. Beautiful tank
