Hello all. I am new to the reef community. I have been keeping freshwater and brackish tanks for years. Yesterday I just bought my first saltwater aquarium. 220 gallon with a few clown fish and various corals. I will be picking it up on Saturday. The guy that had it hasn't done a water change in over a year. The tank looks super clean and the fish are healthy. However I feel like the corals are only surviving. I have researched this for over a year before this purchase so I'm not going completely blind. There is a paly, dendro, brain, and rock anemone. Black box led x 3, protein skimmer, sump. How do I get them acclimated and make sure the corals survive, thrive and grow?

I dont think youll have much time to acclimate corals. Id just dump them in and keep the settings he has on his lights.
