New Orphek OR4 bars. acclimation time?

[stxgb15]

Installing two Orphek OR4 Sky blue light bar as supplemental light to be used alongside my 5 radion xr15 gen 4. Tank is a 200 gallon sps dominant mixed reef. Lighting schedule is a modified AB+with blues in the morning then ramp up to heavy whites for 3 hours then a ramp down to blues in the evening. With adding these new OR4s in acclimation mode default is 30% intensity. How long should I run the OR4 in acclimation mode before increasing? I understand that I will need to bring down my xr15s to match par with the new bars. After acclimation how much should I increase the light bars to safely bring up the intensity

Ordered directly from orphek. OR4 aren't at any local shops yet. Had to wait a month as they were still finishing the upgrades before they shipped them.

I have mine on order as well. I’m curious as to how you mounted yours? I currently have 3x xr30s sideways (running length of tank) with the 3x rms arms. I’m considering just mounting the bars to the lights and letting the 3 arms carry the weight.

If you're still looking for some or4's hit me up. I can get them to you probably for a little less than directly thru orphek

Operational Details:

• The Acclimation program runs continuously for 10 days.
• On the 11th day, the device’s light will revert to Program mode.

Intensity Progression:

• Day One starts with all channels at an intensity of 30%.
• Each subsequent day sees a 3% increase in light intensity.
• On the last day (Day 10), the intensity reaches 60%.

At this time you can set intensity to a point you desire. If you desire any additional info, please feel free to contact me a [email protected]. I do not frequent R2R that often. Thank you.
