Morning,
Currently running a XR15 G5 Blue, RMS mounted and want to raise the intensity. I'm currently at 30% on a 15x15x15 cube. Wasn't sure on the speed I should raise as I don't want to shock anything. Stocking is currently SPS on top half and couple LPS on the bottom half. Wasn't sure if I could do a percent a day or should do a percent a week ect. My reasoning is a couple SPS have browned a little bit even though my parameters are stable and within recommendations. The SPS still have great poly extension and are growing / encrusting.
Thanks!

Edit - Forgot to add I'm running the AB+ template. Also I have to manually do the increase since Im using MXM via Apex.

5% a week is a good place to start. 1% daily or every other day.
Better to go slower but I have gone up 10% a week with no issues.
I'm running a reef breeders.
