AI prime 16 to Radion Xr15 Acclimation?

[vcollins9850]

I am changing the light over 40 gal AIO from a single AI prime puck to a xr15 blue. I run very similar schedule to AB+ so not worried about spectrum. But in terms of power:

1. what percentage should I run the new light starting out and what should I try to max out at?
2. Also how long of an acclimation period should I run before reaching max percentage?

Tank is mostly LPS with some montis and acros in top third of tank. Looking to add more Acros in the near future. TY!

When I had my XR30s over my IM Fusion 25 Lagoons I was running them @35% schedule intensity (guessing your 40 is a bit higher, so you may want to look at 40-45%).

I think anything from a few days to a week is fine.

Thanks. After lots of reading I was leaning towards 50% max, and just let the acclimation setting run to get me there. I’d rather play it on the cautious side in terms of too much light. After a few weeks I might go up to 55-60 if corals are happy

I currently run them @75%, but that's also a 23.6" deep tank.

I run my XR30 G5 Blue @ 85% and cant see any bleching or something... is weird.. I could even go to 100% I guess
