I'm going from 400 watt Iwasaki 6500's to Giesmann 250 watt 14k's.
How should I acclimate?
The new lights should be far dimmer PAR-wise, from the bulbs I currently use.
So, I'm not really worried I will bleach my corals; but I am wondering what the short-term effect will be.
Should I acclimate the same way I would when going to a brighter bulb? Move the lights as high as I can and shorten the cycle time?
Or will it have minimal affect the corals (mostly LPS, a few softies, and a few SPS)?
Any thoughts or words of wisdom?
Thanks,
Gary
