New lights and your corals

[saveafish]

I may be very wrong but I have noticed that, There is a lot that have problems with their corals after changing to new light styles or bulbs, I've always been tought to raise up the lights for a few days to readjust the corals to the new light par's produced. If this is correct than it should be noted but if im wrong plz, tell me so

It's a generally accepted practice that when installing new lights, some sort of reduced lighting scheme should be employed to avoid shock to your corals. There are a couple different ways;

- Raise the light rack
- Reduced/altered photo period
- Screen mesh filtration
- etc...
