Ai hydra light cycle...

[johnnydeez]

Hey everybody, just got 2 new AI hydra 32 HD’s for my 90g reef tank and was wondering if anybody runs them, and if so..... has anybody come up with a solid custom light program for optimal color and growth? I’m also running 2 48” t5 bulbs for 5 hours during peak cycle.... any suggestions might help. Thanks everyone!!

So I have two Hydra 52HDs on my 90. I used to run the BRS AB+ settings but I was getting up to 600 par 6 inches down into the water where I had my SPS. So I toned it down with the help of @jcook54 and the clubs par meter. Here is what I'm running.

So I start my day at 7 am and ramp up to this at 9am then,

I go to this at 7pm...then all the way off at 9pm. It's working out for me right now that I got all of my parameters stable. Hope this helps.
