bulbs replacement question.
Hello,
I was just wondering, I bought new bulbs that are different then the ones i used, how should i change out the bulbs? Like change 1 bulb a day or just put them all in and reduce the time the lights are on until the corals get acclimated to them? Thanks, ~Nick |

Do you have the option of raising them up? If not, I would reduce the time, then gradually increase it.

You could try that, then increase the time an hour every two days until you've reached your normal lighting period.
