AI Prime acclimation settings

[Dustin813]

Hey guys, I purchased 2 AI Prime HDs for my 65G reef tank. What initial strength would you guys recommend I run the lights to acclimate the tanks livestock? Both lights are 10” from the surface of the water. I’ve got a pair of torch corals, a hammer, a blasto, trumpet coral, and some blue sympodium. There are a ton of suggestions out there and they’re all very different, and I want to be sure to not bleach the corals. Thanks in advance! Check out the tank with the Primes attached!

Th AI Prime HD have an aclimation mode in them. I used it, it works well.

I have Hydra 26 HDs and I use the acclimation mode as well. 50% for 6 weeks when I first hooked them up. And maybe 40% drop when adding new corals for 3-4 weeks. As far as a schedule - not to sure with your primes and tank size. Personally I run a long(5 hr) ramp up/down and a 4 hour peak. At peak white is 70% and the rest are at 100%. There are some schedules out there for the Hydras that may work on the primes as well. One word of advice - try to settle on your settings and not adjust to much. To much "tinkering " leads to issues and frustration ! Small changes every few weeks or months is fine , but people have found out the hard way to much to fast is a bad thing. GOOD LUCK and I hope you enjoy your lights
