AP700 coral acclimation

[Kevinb452]

Hey guys! Just finished cycling my new Red Sea 350 and plan on moving my coral over tomorrow! (Super excited)

I bought a AP700 and am worried about bleaching or killing my coral. All the coral is coming from my biocube 32 LED so I'm guessing it's a rather difference in PAR lol. What should I have my max intensity at and how do I go about it? Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!

What types of corals are you moving to the new tank?

Does the system come with preset acclimation program? I don't have AP700 so I do not know.
I owned a360we and Kessil spectral controller acclimation preset start at 50% color/15% intensity and rank up like 1%~2% each day for 2 weeks, It's kind weak preset so I manually start at 30% color and 30% intensity and rank up 5% per week, when I hit 50% intensity I lengthen the time to rank up by 2 weeks to be safe, steady low and consistent is the key.

I have the AP700 and there is an acclimation setting. It allows you to choose the length of the acclimation to a certain intensity. This light is strong and will bleach your corals. I would start out at 30% intensity max and use the acclimation setting. You can always raise the intensity slowly as you would any other LED. It is a great light.

Perfect! So how does the acclimation setting work exactly? Do I Just turn it on to my existing schedule that I created? Sorry if this sounds stupid I'm just new to this LED programming thing.
