Acclimation mode radions and sps

[Ibrat82]

Hi guys

I’ve had my tank running for 6 months without corals (fish only) but have recently bought a bunch of sps frags. My lfs uses t5’s and I have Radion Gen 3 pros. If I’m using the light acclimation mode in the radions then can I just place the sps frags in there final spot or should I still put them on the sand bed and slowly move / raise them to there final spot? Also what percentage should I keep the acclimation mode on (50%) of the intensity I plan?

You could do it either way since you don't have corals in the tank and everything is new.
Depending on how deep the tank is and how far the light is from the corals, I can only generalize numbers.
If I used the acclimation mode in your case, I would place the corals in a permanent spot.
Then run a 3 week acclimation program starting at 35%-40% and go to a maximum of 65%.
