Hydra 26 Switching from Saxby to AB+

[Markxc]

Hi all - I have a hydra 26 and am currently running David Saxby's schedule, but I want to switch over to AB+. As far as I can tell, I would be reducing overall par. Do I need to do any acclimation or can i just switch and not worry about anything?

While going from higher par to lower would be easier for the coral to take I thnk I would still do an acclimation period and slowly change it over. Good luck

My build thread below has a PAR reading for AI Hydra 26HD under AB+ For Reefer 250 in case if you need it.

Why the switch if you don't mind me askinf

i think i bleached some corals because the light was too strong. i switched over from a prime and did 50% acclimation over 6 weeks but they still bleached so now im just trying to lower my intensity overall. i realize i could just lower the intensity, but i also prefer bluer lights so figured id kill two birds with one stone.

You can use 2 fingers on the app and move down to reduce the entire preset setting.

Moving left/rigt moves the entire photoperiod to earlier or later.
