Hydra 26 HD - Best Lighting Settings for Mixed Reef

[Chris5]

Just curious if anyone can post the actual percentages of the colors they are using on there Hydras? I have seen a lot of people using David Saxbys reef lighting settings around the net -

My LFS told me to use 92% all blue, uv etc...No G, R and 25% Cool White, but ive seen
113% All blue, uv etc, no G, R, and 60% Cool White from Max Sea

How big is the tank? I have AI primes and run the BRS recommended light settings on my Nuvo 30L.

I use Saxby settings, just a tad modified.
Turned down the r&b a bit and shortened the length.

So I experimented with adding small amounts of red and green into my settings and immediately generated red slime algae ...

Chef what is the Saxby percentages ?

My tank is a RSM 250 65g modified with no hood and two hydra 26 HD?s

Use Stuart Bertram setting downloads from AI, it's the Saxby schedule.
