Hello all,
Two days ago I switched my lighting from the fluval sea reef light to two of the marsaqua eBay lights (165w each). My aquarium is a standard 75, and all I have at this point is softies. I hung the new lights 12" above the water and decided to start the whites on the lowest setting possible and the blues on 20%. All of my corals are doing fine with the new light so far except two. I have a Kenya tree coral that closed up immediately and hasn't opened since, and one of my ricordea Florida's isn't opened up as much as usual. My question is, is this usual when changing over lights? Also, I can still move those two corals to shadier spots if I need too. Is it possible that it's too much light even on the lowest setting? I'm planning on ramping up the light slowly over the next month or so.
