Acclimation percentage

[blkhawk10]

I just got done acclimating my tank to 55% of the radion pros...Since they are running at 100% of 55%, what percentage would I start the lights on to be the same intensity while ramping up to 65%?

Not sure I completely understand your question, but I would just set it to start where it is at 55% with a target of 65% over 4-6 weeks...

Unless you are adding something new to the tank I see no reason to take a step backwards first. I am currently running at 55% on Radiant Color Mode an do not intend to increase the output. Stony corals are very happy here and going any higher didn't seem to be a benefit for me anyway.

Running the lights at 55% of 65% is taking a step backwards...that's the issue I'm having...I want to know what percentage of the 65% percent intensity is equal to the 55% of the 100% intensity I'm running right now.

Still not 100% sure what you are asking but the way you phrase it would be the following:

55/100 = X/65 cross multiply

3575 = 100X

X = 35.75%

35.75% of 65% is an equal ratio to 55% of 100%
