Die hard metal halide. Finally going to switch to ecotech radion 30w. Any advice on the transition so no loss or corals? How high to run intensity and color. Can have more color slow growth. It doesn't matter. 60 gallon cube lps and sps. Thanks in advance.
 
I just switched from a 150w MH to Radion gen 3 xr30. I set a 4 week acclimation period to a maximum of 50% intensity. The on sps I noticed browned just a bit was my Joe the Coral but it was only brown for about a week. Everything has been happy and I just reached the end of the acclimation period. Don't think too hard into it.

I used one of the ecosmart templates.
 
Thank you
