hi all. Im looking for a little input on aclimating my corals to the new chinese back box i bought. All corals are on sand bed. I have. 29gal biocube, the light is 4 in from water because i want the hood to be still on it. Iv been having problems with zoas and mushrooms opening up, green star polyps are doing good and the the white pipe organs. All pramaters are spot on. So should i run the lights at 1% blues and whites for a week then turn them up or some other way? Like i said all corals are on sand bed. Just not sure how much stronger the light is sense its so close to water surface. image.jpg
 
Hard to do without a meter. LUX or PAR. Lux is cheap BTW.
my guess because im familiar is, start at 20%
