For Sale Trade 5 AI Hydra 26s and AI director

Man wish I had gotten to see this beautiful tank before you took it down.

 

ya i know right me two @FishBrain

 

What settings were you using? Anything special?

 

lol that tank is pertty @hart why did yo take it down.

 

I don't want to derail the sale thread! Just wanted to show what they did for me. In short though,

Nothing special schedule wise. Just ran 2:1 blues:whites/red/green at an intensity that gave me the PAR I wanted ~300 for 8hr or so depending on how the coral looked.

Really I feel lights are about picking what you think is good looking, ppl make such a fuss about lights and growth and color and love to argue, but if you meet the PAR it's feeding and water quality that really make a difference. I won that contest because I spot fed that coral every night (even 2x) appropriate sized food while keeping water quality up and some nitrate in the water.

 

Awesome!!! That is the one!

 

It's not derailing the thread if it inspires someone else to buy the last Hydra 26

 

Is that 6 bulb going over your 220? @Armydog

 

Which reef brite, tech or xho? What size are you thinking too? I can't wait to see the look of both of those!

 

You will definitely like it. What made you decide 6 bulb over an 8?

 

I would take the last Hydra; just don't know when I will be able to get over to your area with the holiday season and all. I'm in the Iowa City area.

 

I'm interested in 1 of them if you need to split
