Kessil A80 - Intensity

[Daniel91]

Hi all,



Grabbing my first corals tomorrow for the Fusion 10 - probably a torch and a candy cane coral.



Question - what intensity should I start my light off at? I'll be increasing it by 5%/week to slowly acclimate.



I am thinking to start it at 50% and do my first increase a solid 7 days after.

Thanks

50% is a good start :) The A80 is a great little light for smaller tanks. If you start at 50 and your corals dont look happy knock it down to 30, torches and candy canes dont need alot of light ;)

Appreciate the input -

I actually decided to buy four corals online instead. Torch, Hammer, Duncan & Blasto.

I went to four LFS prior and dang, pricing was insane on similar pieces.
