20LogR January 6, 2016 Share January 6, 2016 Love these unique sized tanks! What the plan for long term water movement? I would probably go with a few smaller powerheads at different depths in the tank. Don't want all that crud settling to the bottom with no way to make the long trip up to the overflow.

WilRams January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Looking good! I went with white and bare bottom this time around after seeing your last setup and this one. It's quite bright but so far I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makai531 January 17, 2016 Share January 17, 2016 Thanks. I saw a previous post when you were looking for a sump and was curious what you ended up with. Looks like it fits well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 January 17, 2016 Author Share January 17, 2016 It's tight for sure.. at first I wasn't crazy about the height.. but it allows me to run more water and also keeps splashing etc... but it's a tight fit for sure haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSKN5 February 9, 2016 Author Share February 9, 2016 I am running one hydra 26hd...I have my blues at about 75% white at about 35 and others around 10-15... I am about to add a second 26hd for more even coverage.. would I need to lower the totals for both lights by a percentage? Or run acclimation mode or what?

YHSublime February 9, 2016 Share February 9, 2016 I am running one hydra 26hd...I have my blues at about 75% white at about 35 and others around 10-15... I am about to add a second 26hd for more even coverage.. would I need to lower the totals for both lights by a percentage? Or run acclimation mode or what? I would figure that if you're adding double the power, then x2 at roughly 40% white and 20% blues and whatever you figure on the other. If you wanted to play it safe, and I think that would be safe. Now me... I would just add the other Hydra at the same specs as the first, do it on a weekend, look for any negative effects. I'm cavalier and lazy, so take that for what it's worth.

GOSKN5 February 9, 2016 Author Share February 9, 2016 Haha not sure it quite works like that haha... it won't really be double the power because the coverage angles etc will be different... In other words one coral was off to side of the light will now be under it... But I get what you mean.. I'm gonna scale it back at least 25% or so I think to be safe... I don't have any really picky stuff in there yet anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOSKN5 February 12, 2016 Author Share February 12, 2016 (edited) Got the twin hydra HDs going... coverage looks nice... as things grow in that second hydra is gonna be important I think.. turned them down some and will keep any eye on things...

GOSKN5 February 16, 2016 Author Share February 16, 2016 So far so good.. I turned each fixture down about 15% or so and all seems to be responding well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
