cane September 30, 2015 Share September 30, 2015 I recently installed a second AQUAMANA-LED lights on my 90 gallon (light spectrum looks different although it is the exact same light). When I did the install I removed my 2 blue T5 lightsso I would only have LEDs. Everyone looked happy untill the switch. Now my Torch and a few other corals are not opening as before. All my perametors look good. What should I do? Also based on the info in the link what would you run these lights at? http://www.amazon.com/AQUAMANA-LED-55x3W-Dimmable-Aquarium-Light/dp/B00FHDEAFQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1443656478&sr=1-3&keywords=saltwater+aquarium+led+lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeghanisradxD October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 (edited) I have lights very similar and I started them off at around 5% and ramp them up about 5% every week or so. The corals may be having a hard time adjusting to the new lights. Did you start them off low or on full intensity?

cane October 1, 2015 Author Share October 1, 2015 I went full thinking this would be ok since I removed T5s and added 1 LED. But as i write this it clearly didn't make since. Do you plan on eventually going to 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeghanisradxD October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 I will probably go to about 65-75% as I only really have LPS and soft corals, no SPS. Starting low is definitely key with new lighting. Try turning them down and slowly ramping them over the next couple months, they should adjust to the new lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethsolomon October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 IMO put the t5 back on :P The t5 and LED combo produces some of the best coral color if you have the right bulbs in the t5 fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
