From normal flourescents to LEDs, how long for livestock to get used to it?

So I upgraded from my regular florescent display to a 42 LED light system. How long do you think it will take my livestock to get used to the lights? I only have fish, no coral yet.

You don't really have to worry about the fish to much. You most likely will have a algae bloom from the switch tho. It should go away after a few days

Yea just a new thing so I was panicing a little when they hid but they already got used to it.

if you don't have corals it won't bother the fish otherwise start low and slowly turn it up over a few weeks.
