AI Hydra 26 for planted tank

[DaveyG]

I purchased an AI Hydra 26 to replace my failing Arcadia LED luminaire which effectively burnt out. I have been using it about 6 months and I use it with practically no blue LED illumination. I have no real problem with plants growing apart from an Anubias Barteri which I cut back to a stem after it practically took over my 270 litre tank. It has started to recover but all the leaves are “bonsaied” for the want of a better word. The tank is CO injected and other plants grow like crazy especially my Nymphae Lotus.
The tank is quite deep (65 cm) so I needed something that produces a lot of light and the AI Hydra was recommended to me. I know that it is primarily for Marine use but can be tweaked for Planted aquaria.
Could the Anubias be affected by the new lighting or is it my fault for cutting it back too harshly ?
Have other members used this type of lighting for planted tanks ? If so have they experienced issues similar to this.

I know I'm replying to a very old post here, but do you have the settings you are using to share, I am using a repurposed Hydra 26 HD for my upcoming planted tank and setting at 6500K via the app still looks quite blue.

LED Specification:

• 6 - Cree XP-G2 Cool White (> 70 CRI)
• 6 - Cree XT-E Royal Blue
• 6 - Cree XP-E2 Blue
• 2 - OSRAM OSLON Deep Red
• 2 - Cree XP-E2 Green
• 2 - SemiLED 415nm
• 2 - SemiLED 400nm

Just use the cool white deep red and green diodes .
The semi violets can be added to " taste" as well as the regular blue.
I'd leave the rb off.
Roughly you will be using 50% of the lights potential.

I just used these settings for my 270 litre tank. Not many plants in there so I’ve kept the values low. Water depth is 2ft and the Light fitting is about 1ft above the water surface.
