Just upgraded lighting.

So I have a 30 gallon innovative marine. I had 3 kessil a80's for the first 5 months. I was just recently at reefapalooza in Orlando and won a ghl mitras 7206 light and mount. Installed the new light over the tank yesterday. The kessil a80's are 15 watts each. The new ghl mitras is 195 watts. I dont want to fry everything in my tank with a sudden change. In the app I can set an acclimation mode and reduce the intensity of the light. How long should slowly let the light come up to normal operating intensity? I'm sure I don't need to run it at 100% ever either. The pictures are from when I first set it up. I dialed back to 20% and that seems to be a match to what the kessils are putting out for light at the moment.

Oh really? Awesome! I was hoping I won it. We had just recently got the ghl profilux 4 controller for my sons tank along with a few other ghl products. I was actually going to buy the 2 smaller sized ones for his tank but now with this... I'll get a chance to see how I like it because we are building a much larger tank in the future for our living room and was going to use 4-5 of these on the tank.
