menglish January 24, 2022 Share January 24, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds January 24, 2022 Share January 24, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJMasta January 24, 2022 Share January 24, 2022 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.
