    New Mh Bulb Question.

    I got my new Reeflux bulbs in the mail yesterday and I was wondering it I need to only run them a few hours at a time? I think the corals need to adjust to the intensity of the new bulbs, right?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I usually cut the photoperiod in half, for about a week, and then add an hour on each end until I get back to the original time. Liking those bulbs, are ya!!!!
