Acclimating sticks in an empty display? (Poll)

[rennjidk]

Just like many others, my systems have gone through a lot of changes over the years. I now have an established display devoid of corals, which I'm planning to jam full of sticks. How would you go about acclimating under these conditions?

Depends on the par, I'm getting almost 700 par at the top of my tank, new frags I'd like to put up there I'll acclimate them to the higher par, if they're getting stuck somewhere in the 300-400 I just glue them down and don't change my lights

I have 200-400 par in my display at 60% light power, with most spots being 300.

Then you should be good to place your sticks where you think they'll do best, I've had good success with this method but it may not work for everyone

If I notice that my new acro frag isn't showing good PE or coloration I'll then move them into lower PAR
