Upgrading from Current to RedSea 90

[Cmack59]

We are replacing our Current system to The Red Sea LED Pro 90 - any recommendations- our Currents are about 3 years old
Thanks for your help

Make sure you acclimate the corals to the new light. Also, renting a par meter may be handy.

i was thinking of running the new lights at 50% blue and 25% white for 2 weeks and then every week increase by 5%

I think the app may have an acclimation mode. I can look that up some more later.
If you can't rent a par meter, judge their par rating based off of white and blue at 100 and then just do math from there. What size tank do you have?

Red Sea reefer 74 gallons on top and 18 in the sump I think total is 92 gallons

Ya it has its own acclimation mode. You set what intensity you want in the end and how many days and it’ll adjust daily to become brighter

Thank you - we have them installed - not as easy as they make it sound I can see why they only give the app 2.5 on the App Store - set them at 50% to start and increase over 90 days instead of 50 like the last time we did it - will keep a close eye on the corals - husband says very difficult to sync but if you hit enough buttons enough times you might get lucky and they will work

Weird I’ve had 0 issues with the app and sync. Only thing I dislike about mine is when you adjust something the lights have to completely turn off

We decided that we are just old and technically challenged!
