My reef tank got new lights!
I got my new Ushio bulb from reeftanklighting.com today! dang, it is beautiful... my corals didnt have a chance to get too much of it cause i only turned it on for a few minutes.. it was so much brighter..... should i reacclimate my coral to the light, or do you think they will be ok??
ps reeftanklighting.co............................... ..A1!

Definitely reacclimate them to the new bulb. The old bulb, depending on usage, lost plenty of intensity and the new bulb is going to provide a lot more bang. I would slowly work my way up to full period with the new bulb.

The best way to acclimate corals to new bulbs according to the experts is as follows:
Go to you local HD and buy some fiberglass door screen. Cut it to a size that will lay over you reef tank, and put several layers of the screen over you tank. Over a period of 2 weeks remove a layer of the screen every several days untill you get thru them all. It makes good sense to me. |
