So I'm still new to the hobby and decided to replace my 160 watt Maxspect Razor with a 250 watt metal halide (Hamilton Cozumel reflector). I made the switch because I would have had to get two Razors for my 36x36x24 tank.
How do I acclimate my tank/corals to the new lights. I have heard shorten the light cycle to using window screen materials. But, those were suggestions when adding a new coral. I haven't seen anything on acclimating a tank to metal halides when going from powerful LEDs.
I only have a few coral frags( zoas, hammers, frogspawn and a couple chalices)in the tank now and an anemone. I would like keep everything alive during the switch. Help!
