My wife got me a Kessil 360 for Christmas. I have the stock compacts on my JBJ 28 Nanocube right now. How should I go about acclimating them to the new light? Less time? Low Intensity?
I have a Neptune system that I will use to help with the acclamation.
I just joined the club and I hope to make it out to the next meeting.

Thanks in advance,
Houston

I would start with lower intensity and shortened time, then increase intensity until you get to where you like it. Then add time. I would recommend over a week or 2. If you are mostly soft and LPS they acclimate much more quickly than SPS. With SPS I would say to start out adding to the other light a few hours a day with low intensity and then increase. SPS do not do well with sudden lighting changes.
