going from 70w 14k to 150w 10k

[Kigs!]

should i acclimate them with few eggcrate sheets over the top?

I would acclimate them for about a week.

 

[Kigs!]

how many sheets would you say?

get rid of the 10k and go with at least 14k

 

[Kigs!]

i want to. i'm a fan of 14k. but i just bought it...i wanna see how it might look. any recommendations as to which 14k bulbs to go with the finnex? i heard that not all 14ks look the same on different ballasts

Pheonix 14k's are what we use!

hmm yah that's what the 70w sunpod has, and i was pretty happy with it. i'm gonna try this 10k out, because the finnex also comes with 2 actinic pc bulbs, 16w? or maybe less. if i do upgrade, i might as well as upgrade the pcs to 32.

lastly, how many sheets of eggcrates would suffice? 1? 2?

I would start with two for a week the reduce to one. Keep a heads up and watch for polyp extension. Retracted is too much light..reaching in probably not enough. They sould do fine. Good Luck
