Just a small update, zoa rock is almost completely covered. This was a freebie on a 1" branch that I attached to the rock about 6 months ago. It's been sitting on the sand bed since day one under the first puck of the first hydra so it's been growing towards the center of the lights until yesterday when I rearranged some rocks and placed under the first puck of the second hydra.

Ah Ok just trying to see my Frag Tank is only 10" Deep but 9in from the waterline down. Just trying to see the intensity to use on my Tank I was trying to use your settings but it may be too high for this tank my Acros bleached out. I have both of my lights 14" off the water line- just trying to get the right intensity and dial them in.... Not sure if you can help with that. My tank is a 36"X24"X 10" Frag system

I've been having an issue w one of my hydras. (upgrade kit from Sol blue) been in contact w AI the whole time and they're sending me a new one! The coloring was off by a little bit and even w new motherboards (couldn't get it to sync w the controller) it didn't work. So I get a new one! Great costumer service!! Hoping this solves it. Not a big diff but still, noticeable to me

Yes I was a big vertex led supporter. I have made the switch to hydra
I am totally impressed its only been 4 days, my sps and lps are also looking amazing.
I am playing around with the settings and want to hear from others on your uv settings. I am acclimating at 45%
I didnt have uv or red and green in my vertex leds anyone have issues with those colours.
I am using the director also, didn't realize it was still in beta stage
does have some real cool controls, but not as advertised imo - hope they keep developing it - not like vertex on there controler lol

Welcome! It looks like much over 15% on the red and green grows algae
IMO go slow on the UV i am starting to think that we can give the corals as much or more UV than in the ocean and in my case when I backed off on the UV my corals opened up more.
