AI Sol Blue - coral acclimation

Hi.

Tomorrow will be day when my AI SOL Blue Led is coming with AI Controller.
Right now I have T5's. They are on for 12 hours (2x24W), next pair 2x24W is on for 8 hours.
Can You tell me how I supposed acclimation my corals to LED light?
I'm mostly keeping zoas but also I have a few rico and one Hammer.

If you can give to me any advice I will be happy to read them.

Thanks,
Rafal

easy corals, if your doing sps then its a different story. start at 30% on all, then increase 10-15% a week and you'll be fine. i currently run mine at white75% blue95% royal blue95%

Thanks for answer.

I just set new LED. Its awesome. All ricordeas were closed for less then 5 min, and after they open better then I had T5's.
