Okay so I️ just put a Kessil on my 20 gallon and was wondering what intensity to start acclimating it at? Right now I️ put it on 40% for 7day cycle

What corals are under it? And how far off the water do you have it? I'd be more opt to go to 20% intensity to start

I️ only have Euphyllias and I️ turned it down to 20% intensity. And then what would you do for Euphyllias under the Kessil after acclimating? Like max intensity at peak during day?

Euphyllia dont really require that much light. You may not need to turn it up much higher. But unless you have access to a par meter turn it up slowly. 5% a week, and when the corals start to look upset turn it down by 10% and keep it there.
