First reef tank, 600 liters

[Branislav]

Hi members R2R

This is my first post on this forum and first post on any reef forum.

I'm in the process of making my first reef tak. Dimensions are 200 x 50 x 60(h) cm.
Lightning is Giesemann Infinity 3 x 150 14.000 K Megachrome Marin and 80 w T5 Actinic ( I think Odyssea :-/ ) .In the start I will keep soft corals of all kinds. Later we will add LPS and hardy SPS coral, goal is mixed coral tank.

Light acclimatization is bit of the mystery for me now. I was thinking that MH light work for 3-4 hours in start and T5 for 10 hours . Every week I will add 1 hour of MH light. Infinity will be on 40 cm above the aquarium and I will lover to about 20cm in time...

Is this good, bad or idea that can pass ? :-) Can you give me advice how would you do it ?
Any advice, links, suggestion is appreciated.

Best regards

I am currently acclimating my lps and sofies to a new bulb. I do run supplementals though. I started with 4 hours a day and every 5 days or so i add an hour
