New coral QT and light acclimation

[helwrj28]

First time with coral! I just purchased a Zoa, GSP, and Rhodactis mushroom, completed the initial acclimation and dip and have lights out since yesterday afternoon. Now I have a few questions how to proceed, FYI for light I have a ReefBreeders nano and a 20g long tank:

When should I turn the lights on?
What light intensity should I start at?
Where to initially place coral on rack?
How often should I move the rack?

 

[Spare time]

I wouldn't bother acclimating them, especially corals as hardy as those. You only need to worry about that if you are drastically increasing the intensity of the light. Just place them in the kind of light that they would normally receive.

Thanks for the input! It looks like they had a pretty good light source at the LFS.. so I'll keep that in mind with the intensity!

What do you recommend for mounting height?

The LFS should know the relative par numbers the corals were getting, so that might help. As for mounting height, I am not familiar with the light but I would guess between 8-12 inches.
