Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion for acclimation I have then set at 10% but gonna move it up to 20% and start from there also color suggestions for good growth running 2 on a 150 standard tank

I have 2 tanks. My 150 gal, 60in, has 2 and my rsr525xl has 1 with 2 350's. Depending on how high above the water and your type corals, I would start at 30percent and work up to 50 percent over a 4wk period. Watch the corals because these are very powerful. I buried some of my corals. Kessil told me that color has no effect on coral growth. All that matters is the intensity.
 
Yeah started bleaching coraline at 40 was Peking at that for 3 hrs and it was to much next question I have a C2C overflow box that's 48 inches across the back I only had 10 inches to mount with canopy so should I mount them forward more I have them centered now but wonder if I'm loosing any light to the overflow box
 
Kessil website has coverage for how high above the water the light is placed. I would have to recheck but I think they recommend 10-12 in. for sps and 16-18 for lps and softies. 10-12 will cover 36in sq. And 16-18 will over 48in sq. I wouldn't think you will lose any light unless your width exceeds 36 in.
