Coral light acclimation

[themcfreak]

How fast do you acclimate your corals to light? Do you do any other acclimation in general?

My newest corals are in the tank, near the sanded on a rack. My plan was to move them up the side slowly, until I get them to their desired levels. Just wasn't sure how fast/slow to do that.

Thanks!

For record, these are SPS (acros). A Walt Disney, Pink Floyd, Pink Cadillac, and more. So want to do these right, so they don't die. They were pricey! haha

Any recommendations?

Depends on what par they were getting in the previous tank.

Usually I wouldn't have to worry about light acclimation if your tank is similar par.

Bought from store, so not sure. Could ask them. But very good point. Thanks!
