I am suppose to receive a new LED light for my 75 gallon reef tank. I currently have a LED light on my tank but it is weaker than the new one i am getting. Do i need to acclimate my corals to the new light? I am going to use both lights at the same time by the way.

I would start them lower and work your way up

How slow do you need to work them up? I'm also doing this and my PAR readings were only about 80 on the sand bed at max intensity with the old lights. The new lights are about 300 on the sand bed at max intensity.
