Radion setting of coral acclimation

Just wanted to know how folks set their radion lights when they are acclimation new corals to the tank.

Is there a Scheme  on apex fusion that you can share?

 

Much thanks

I just put all new corals on the frag rack on the bottom of the tank unless I know if it came from a similar tank with similar lighting. 
 

I have never used any “acclimation” programs.

I wouldn't turn down lights for new corals unless it's the majority, putting low and then moving up won't impact the existing ones as much.  If you're doing a big batch though, I haven't used their acclimation mode, but when I was increasing the overall lighting in my underlit tank, I was aiming for about 1% increases on the channels per day, in no more than a 2% step.  I think it's a little on the fast side, but while you get some bleaching, I didn't see any damage from that much.

 

 

Maybe if you have a big array of lights you could put corals under one and just control that one to be lower and increase on its own, but I think that sort of thing will be pretty setup specific.
