Hello all! I finally decided to upgrade from 2 Kessil A160wes to 2 A360wes. I have these on a standard size Marineland 75gallon. My A160s light schedule would only peak to 55% intensity for a 6 hour period then ramp down. I was wondering if I should run my new A360wes on the same schedule or start them lower? My end goal is to have them slowly adjusted to 100% intensity.
 
I would start them lower, same brand but still more power coming out of them. Can I ask why you want to ramp up to 100%? does it need to be maxed out?

I guess I have no real reason. A lot of people I talk to run their kessils at 100% and their corals looks great. I’ll probably just adjust these a little lower and see how everything reacts. I’m just excited to have more power and better spread from the 360s.
