Alright! Got my H80 for my refugium. It is plugged into Apex and controlled.

First: Anybody have the percentages for Apex that equate to Grow? I think I am close, but curious to what other people have come up with (or if there is a definitive answer.

Second: Acclimation? I have a new bunch of cheato with a new light. What is standard acclimation for this light? 8 hours at 50% and work my way up to 100%? Or less hours and work my way up to 8 and then up to 100%?

Thanks!
 
Grow on the apex I believe is equivalent to 40%. And as far as acclimation start out at 50% intensity and raise it by 10% weekly until you hit 100% :) 8 to 10 hours opposite of your display lighting :)
 
Its 15w, turn it to 100% and run 8-10 hrs, no acclimation needed, have h80 and h360, only need to be careful with 380
