I'm still rather new to LEDs for lighting. I've always went with the tried and true usage of T5s. But loved the look and shimmer with LEDs. So I decided to purchase a Kessil A150 to start. The montis I bought were from a Ecotech Radion lit tank. The difference is that Kessil is closer to the water than the LFS's Radions were, mainly because of the gooseneck. Do I still need to acclimate them at all to the light?
 
If I were you I would start the frag or Monti near the sand bed n u can observe its reaction from there I would normally raise or lower the lights but you wouldn't want to disturb your other corals start it near the sand also remember strongest par is directly under the light u can place a frag high up but further out and light par won't be as strong idk if that makes sense or if u can picture what I mean
 
I can't raise or lower the light and I can't dim it, not a big deal. The biggest difference between the sand and where it's currently placed and the sand bed is 5 inches.
 
It had some earlier. I moved it around 2" downward. I didn't see any since then. But the light is off as of now. So... I'll check it tomorrow, I suppose.
 
Dont under estimate the power of those lights they are really strong if it remains closed I say you raise it give it about 2hrs after ur lights cut on and then decide wether to move it or not highter
