Hey @Rocks reef or to any people with experience with higher par LPS! I know you keep your LPS, torches, etc. at pretty high par. Do you have sections that are lower par where you place them initially to acclimate to the higher power light and then move them around or do you have low sections of your tank that are lower par. I did a par map of my tank and the light is pretty powerful even on the sand bed. In the corners I do get less par but assuming I keep the SPS towards the top of the rock would it be reasonable to keep LPS in that front sand bed by slowly acclimating them to the higher par? I could start them out in the back left corner moving them to the front corners which has higher par and then moving them to higher light over time, etc. How long should someone take to acclimate the coral to the higher light. Like should I give them 4-5 days in one spot and then move them. I assume Acros can take the 500 par as well.

I have everything in a 40 gallon breeder which was initially meant to be a rock cycling tank... well I filled that up pretty quick. Anyway... I ramped my intensity up over the course of a month. Now when I introduce a new torch, I put it in a little less PAR then move it in a week or two. When I say a little less PAR I mean just off to the side a bit since I don't really have much room in my tank. It may only get 50 less PAR... maybe 25... LOL!

As you can see, I’m running out of room.
