New lights! What intensity to start/acclimate corals?

[brett559]

I'm replacing my Current USA Orbit Pro LED with a Maxspect Razor LED. Exciting! :bounce1:

I was thinking of starting the new light at about 25% intensity and ramping up 5% every 3-4 days. Does that sound like a good plan?

Let me know!

25% might be a bit much if you are talking about whites. My whites don't even go to 25% now, I run 70/20 blue to white. I'd start 10% B, 1% W, then 20/5, 30/10, and so on. Not sure how many channels on the razor but your blues/royal blue/violets will probably always be much higher than whites.

I run 75/75 on my lights now, but this new light will be more powerful.

Maybe 5 white / 10 blue and go from there?

Just two channels on Razor.

Yes it's much more powerful. That should work. For me montis are the first thing to whiten if they are in too much light, just watch your corals.

I will.

Don't have any of those :)
