Finally got my mount to use on the hydra 52 it's currently not 100% done just mocking it up.
I have four vega units and two hydra 52 units over my 350 gallon hexagon tank. Any suggestions on how to combine the spectrums? Right now I have them all on one automatic timer. I'm thinking about putting the Vegas on one channel and the hydra 52's on a separate channel. How should I configure them?
Lighting and clouds really do not do anything useful, even tho they are kind of cool. I have both of them turned real low both in intensity and probability.
Wazzel - where are you currently with your settings and how are you corals doing?
Hi all! I'm sorry if an answer to this question has already been posted. I read through the first 20 pages (and the last). I may have missed something between pages 20 and 90.
Anyway, here is my current situation -
100(ish) Gallons
60 w
18 D
22 H
Currently using Marineland Reef LEDs
Ordered X3 AI Hydra 26s, which will sit approximately 2-3 inches AWL
I have a mixed tank with primarily LPS' and Zoas but I have a couple of softies and SPS' scattered about.
So, some thoughts on the best way to acclimate this tank? I'm pretty worried because it's so close to the water line and likely way more intense than my current settings.
Thinking about setting up with easy mode but not sure as to what % I should run them on.
Thanks very much in advance!
Current settings which I'm loving. But will change w the new tank because none of us can find a single setting we all like lol

if you're going to do a tank build/move thread, pls send it to me. How are those settings working for you? You must prefer a whiter tank, I can't go past 35% on white before corals start fading.
Will do cap'n! I've just been playing around w the percentages and I do like a bit more white but will probably lower it back down a bit. These settings have been working pretty good though. The higher uv has been bringing the reds back into the ones that faded to orange a bit
I get the new tank Saturday but gotta get new sand a bit more LR and some plumbing supplies. Gonna take my time setting this one up. No rush at all. You doing a tank swap soon?
awesome!, i helped a friend with a 90 he found on craigslist, we had to tear it down and rebuild it at his house the same day.
He found a drilled 90 with Panworld return, two sumps, rock and sand, all livestock, a SunPod HQI 150 W MH/LED combo, water jugs and other miscellaneous stuff. all for 150.00...LOL
