Hey everyone. I am currently floating my first corals in my tank. Im wondering after they are in the tank. Should I turn my lights back on or wait for tomorrow?
Thanks!

What kind of coral is it? What lightning do you have?

I have an a. I. Prime ten inches above the water line. It is set to acclimation mode two weeks ago so it should be around 50% now. I got an armageddon zoa frag. A teal branching hammer coral frag and a sunset rhodactis mushroom. My lfs gave me a mystery coral but i believe it is a golden hammer coral.

Very nice corals I would prolly start everything out on the sand bed and adjust slowly up.

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently putting them in my sandbed as per your recommendation. But should I turn my light back on now? Or give them time? Sorry I am a true noob haha

No need to say sorry! Yeah I would turn the light back on to your normal schedule! Post pics once they are all open up would love to see them!
