I'm currently running a Kessil A360we at 65% over my 60cube. I'm upgrading to a Aquatic Life LED/T5 fixture which adds 4 T5s (ATI blue plus bulbs). My question is to avoid shocking my system how much should I turn down the Kessil to keep the output roughly the same?

Thanks!

I'd probably leave the Kessils alone to start and would begin running the T-5's for an hour or two, then gradually increase T-5 time until they are at about 4 hours. Tune down the Kessils as indicated by growth/color/nutrients.
