Lighting settings screwup

[asome_one]

Hey all,
I was doing a water change yesterday and happened to be on the AI prime app. I looked at my lighting schedule and realized my lighting schedule was set very stupidly. I had an hour ramp up period to where I liked them and then they ramped down consistently throughout the day to about 20% until they met their actual ramp off period around 7 hours later. So I corrected the issue and have the lights on my max setting until the appropriate ramp down period.
I must have had this light setting for at least the past couple months. I don't know how it never struck me that it was an issue. I guess I liked the lights getting softer as the day progressed.
Anyway, the question being do I have to do an entire acclimation period for them to have my max settings all day?

I havent really been experiencing much growth in the tank. No dying or anything, just stagnation. I have a BTA, multiple types of ZOA, a toadstool, and mushrooms.


Corrected light period attached.

Don't see your original schedule so no way to tell how drastic the change will be so maybe run an acclimation period to be safe?

Something along these lines. I dont remember exactly but it looked similar to this.

That looks like a good start for your settings. I run 8 16hds on 3 systems and 4 tanks and never used the acclimation mode although it cant hurt.
I run 1hr ramp up/down with 10hrs at peak.
I am mostly acros but have a few lps and one anemone in one system with a pair of clowns.
These lights will grow anything you can put under them.

Lets see some pics!

More than likely you would be fine but maybe run it for a week or two just to be safe. It's always easier to correct for too little light than suffer coral damage from too much too quickly. This is what my 26HD is set at over top of nems mostly and some monti caps off to the side. The nems are about 2/3 up seem to love the light. It's a 6ft tank but I run different light on the ends

Thank you much!
