Talked to Justin from AI and he said it is completely normal for a faint buzzing sound to come from the hydra. Anyone hear what I'm hearing?

I hear the fan from time to time. But that's it
I thought I noticed a sound the other night when I had the pumps off, but now I don't.

Can someone chime in & help me with settings. I'm trying to get enough light to the clam 1/2 way up & not bleach my LPS
40 Breeder, lights are hung 14 inches above the water
Right now I have the following settings, but I'd like to increase them a little. If someone can give me an idea of max settings I'll bump them up 1 % a day
Red & Green at 30
White & UV at 40
Everything else at 45
Clam & coral look good, I'm already getting growth on the LPS. Thanks!

none ive had these setup for almost three months now. i did acclimate over the first month and then everything goes in on the sandbed.
Has anyone had a par meter on these?
Also wondering if we can get some tank shots here to go with the results.

i have had them now for 1 month now, so still hard to really say coral wise, but my lps corals have stretched out little more since I've switched. and the only coral that not out all the way is my pagoda cup but never was out all the way before and no bleaching found anywhere. i think coming from the 10 bulb t-5 setup the corals may be used to a decent amount of light. i will post some pics but my phone doesn't do a great job at all. I'm going to try to borrow a good camera and take some photos, i just picked up a nice aust. gold torch yesterday and man does it pop with these led's.
