I would raise the reflectors or do the screen trick to acclimate.

Glad to see you online Dave. I'll call you later and get the tank squared away

either that or cut back time. You WILL have to do 1 or the other tho. Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Even if you cut back time, you'll still have different PAR/intensity there. You need to block some light with say 2 layers of eggcrate. let it run for 2 weeks with 2 layers then remove one layer, run for a week or 1.5 weeks then remove the last layer.
