T5 to Kessil Acclimation Help
Hi All, I will be receiving 2 Kessil a360we today and am wondering how I should intially set them up on my apex. They are replacing my 4 bulb chinese T5 fixture. They will be mounted inside my canopy approx. 8 inches off the water in my standard 90g. My plan is to start them at 50% intensity and increase from there. Does this sound like a plan? How often and by how much should I increase the intensity?
Thanks

I have a 90g mixed reef with two A350W 8" up and am running them at 40%. Start low, lower than you would think. I started at 50% and corals weren't happy so I kept bumping up the intensity. Zoos/Polys wouldn't open, LPS faded, but the SPS were fine. Went down to 40% and everything is looking better. I know some guys are starting at 30% depending on what they have in the tank.
