I ran the 30 day acclimation. Started at 50% intensity up to 65% over 30 days. After the 30 days I started at 65% and I’m going to 80%. I just rented a par meter last week. I’ve lost more coral from to much light than anything. I learned that the hard way with my old AP700s. I wasn’t making the same mistake changing to the G5s. They are very powerful. Take it slow.

I’m also using the ab+ Template with 10 hours of light. 100% all channel colors.

Does it matter whether you run with schedule intensity or point intensity <100% for the acclimation period? I don't think it does, but maybe I'm missing something.
