I'm upgrading from LED to T5 and looking at how I should acclimate my system. I'm currently running a 58 gallon tank with a Maxspect Razor set at 40%white/60%blue. The new lighting will be a 4 bulb T5 fixture using ATI bulbs (2 blue +/2 Coral+). I have no way of raising or lowering the lights or dimming them. Where would you start for acclimation assuming I adjust by time? a short photoperiod and then increase by 30 minutes every few days? Just not sure how I should go about it.

Try some screen. I switched to a 4 bulb unit with 2 blue+ 1 purple+ and 1 coral+. It was bright. I could raise it though. Took some time to lower it.
