Are these Hydra 26 settings good? What do the experts say? Btw the tank these are on is mostly a mixed reef with a lot of acros. Please tell me if you would change anything. Thanks-

UV, Violet, Deep Blue, Royal Blue- all at 100%

Red,Green- 15%

Cool white- 35%

Starts ramping up at 9am, and fully on at 10:30am

Everything ramps down at 7pm, fully off at 8pm

Yes, that looks good.
Ok thanks. I actually raised the white up to 40%. The fish and everything look much better, but do you think that might be to much white? Don’t want excess algae growth or anything. Or even less coral growth…

It’s still good. Many people have a whiter spectrum. Algae is controlled with herbivores and scrapers, not lighting spectrum.
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
