I currently have a Prime HD on my 20 cube and a 32HD arriving tomorrow. I wanted to upgrade it so I have a better light spread and a better light for some sps. My question is how should I acclimate my coral to the new light?
 
I would just use whatever program you are using now and start the new light at 50% of that. The 32 is essentially two 16’s so half strength should be close to your current PAR. Then up it a few percent per week until you get where you want to be...

Imo you should’ve went with two primes. But since it’s done, run Half of whatever you are currently using
 
Ok that's what I was thinking. Thank you.
