Kessil A350W Settings

[ReeferReefer]

I know that the Kessil A350W is an older light and many people have moved on to controllable lights these days. I am wondering if anyone is still using these though? I just picked up a pair second hand and I am switching over from a 6 bulb tek t5 fixture and sbar.

How low should I start and how high should I aim for in the end? I am trying to acclimate my corals so they don't burn up. Im at about 20% Blues and 15% whites to start with a shorter photoperiod than my t5s (2 hours less). I am still running my sbar in the mean time for 4 hours in the "morning" and 4 hours in "evening".

The lights are over my 90g but I will be downgrading to a Nuvo 30l and I want to get my corals acclimated to the new lighting before I move them over.

So far the corals and nems seem ok. I might leave it for a week and add 10% each week or something like that? At some point I will turn off my sbar and let the tank be 100% kessil lit as thats what my nano will have.

Set at 30% Blue, 25% White for now. Corals seems fine. Nems have not reacted much.
