Tanked_Life · Oct 19, 2015

Hey everyone, I have Hydroa lighting and I would like to know The ramp up, the light percentage, and the duration schedule to run an SPS dominant tank. Currently My bud has a 144g half cylinder tank. Please upload a screen shot you crazy sps gods of your schedual/power please! Thanks guys

I only have like 8 or so SPS frags, but they have been doing good for a month or so. Here is the schedule for my Hydra 52 on my 36 gallon tank. Due to school and work I run my lights from 2 pm to 2 am so it was tricky getting the ramps set. But I am extremely happy with it now. I have a little SPS experience so I'm not an "SPS god" lol but this tank is going to be mostly SPS. Still getting the rest of my equipment together. I jumped the gun on a Mille pack from aquasd but only lost 1 frag to rtn.

We all understand the jumping the gun aspect of this hobby! keep me updated on how they look because I may just have m bud run a variant of this setting. It is heck of a lot better than the one he has so far. I appreciate it

No problem. It gives a 12 hour day, with 2 hour ramp up and down. So the blues are on for 8 hours not including ramp up and down, and the whites and colors are on 4 hours not including the ramp.

I use the cloud feature, but turned off the lightning. It was bright and would wake me up at night lol
