Kessil Acclimation

[kathya0321]

I have been running my A80 Tuna Blue at 100% intensity, I am now changing my lighting to A160 Tuna Blue, any idea's on how to set up my acclimation schedule with the controller? I have mostly soft, some LPS and 1 SPS right now. How long would you acclimate and what is the highest intensity you would set it on.

I have this light over my nano tank and really like it. I've never run it over 50% intensity and the color never more than 45% but that's subjective and isn't as big of a deal. I have the same mix of corals as you do with 1 SPS but the SPS has been in there less than a week so I can't comment on long term health but so far it appears happy. When I added this light to my tank I ran the acclimation schedule for a month and would increase intensity by 5% per week until I hit 50% which is my max and never had any issues. I actually reached out to Kessil customer service and told them my set up and they replied with recommended settings so I'm sure you could do the same. Good luck.
