I just got new hydra 26 hd a couple of months ago and I definitely went too intense too fast with the lighting. I know you need to acclimate slowly to higher lighting, but do you need to acclimate to lower lighting? I would like to reduce my light by 30 or 40%.

If you're coral are showing signs of stress or bleaching from the light, then by all means just drop the intensity and they will love you for it :)

Okay awesome I’ll give it a try! It’s so hard to guess par without using a meter.
