T5 acclimation to corals (ATI's)

[Leadfooted]

I have a 90g 48"X24" with 1 White/Blue Marine Orbit strip and 2- ATI T5's.

I just received a new T5 fixture that will hold 2 bulbs, AB+ and a Coral+.

The fixture does not dim and the fixture will only work with both bulbs installed and running.

Will my corals experience shock if I turn this fixture on. I was hoping I could just instal one light and add the second a week or so later to prevent any issues.

You can. Just start with a shorter amount of time the new fixture is on and increase it every week.
