For the past month or so I have been using the hydras... I have had nothing but issues with my sps.... Most sps have died or near death... Turning brown, tips rtn, literally just burning under the lights.... I thought I was not giving enought light, but then when I cranked them up.... That's when things went down hill....
So where I am at now.... Whites 35, blues 60 violet 40 red 10 green 10 and uv 10 Then I set acclimation mode at 50% for 1 month Let's see what happens |

How far up do you have your lights at? 12""?
I guess everyone's tank is different, but since I've lowered the lights, I'm getting crazy colors out of my softies.... The sps still look like sh,, I'm thinking that all the corals were use to the panorama pro LEDs... So tithe hydras are about 10x more powerful.... So dialing them back is the way to go... If anyone wants to buy my hydras 330 a piece.... Let me know... Might go to sols |

When I first mounted them I ran them at around 45% and 7" from water surface and everything was great, I just raised them to about 10" to spread a little more coverage since I am still only running one hydra. I don't think these need to be run anywhere over 80% with 60% being safe zone.

Mine are currently 11" exactly lol nice guess!!
Some SPS browned out a tad due to them getting used to the uv. But they started coloring up now and have crusted a ton. Keep your hydras don't go back to sol!!
