Kessil A350 acclimation

A Toadstool Leather · Jun 9, 2017

My corals have been under weak pc lighting for months now and im wondering how to acclimate them to a kessil a350. What settings should I use and how long should my corals stay on the bottom?

IMO. Just start low. 2o 30% is probably fine.

It's kinda important to figure out your basic par and where you want to be with it.

How high is the light over the tank.
How deep is the tank.

I don't think you need to worry about putting the corals on the bottom as your acclimating the whole tank.

Here how I do it.

Because your was a pc it's a bit tough to gauge the par on it. But just go slow and you'll be alright.

30% for the blue channel? Btw the tank is 19.7 inches high and the light is a few imches off the water.

I'd wager you'll want to move it up for spread and coverage.

You have plenty of power to spare.
PLENTY.

And I mean an overall intensity.
At 2 in 30% could Be too much at first.

Im not too sure exactly hoe far up the light will be. Im using a standard kessil gooseneck clamp.
