Hey everyone, I recently had a light that went out so my tanks PAR was low for about a week. I just got a new light and I’m wondering how fast I can ramp up my par to where it was. I’ve never had to deal with this before and I’m unsure what to do. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
 
A week is not too bad, it’s often in the ocean storms will black out for a week and then be clear skies. If it was me I’d return them to the normal setting.
 
my mantra, I wear a big cowboy hat, I wouldn't exactly want to shock things, but I find our critters are far more resilient most of the time than we give them credit for. I'd probably be back to my full light schedule in 3 days or less, and there will be people who say acclimation mode for 2-4 weeks.
