new sunpower

reefndude · Jan 9, 2014

I just received new sunpower fixture. How high should I hang the fixture to start acclimating? Currently they are under aquatic life 6x48".
New fixture is 6x60". Everything will be moving to a 125g.

I would just raise it up like 5" higher then what you got now and lower it down an inch a week.

I would be worried about acclimating to corals to the new bulbs more than anything. It's not like it's much more light

Ok sounds good. Thank You

yes definitely a few inches higher than your previous aquaticlife light. The ATI bulbs are stronger than the aquaticlife as well.

Was using ati bulbs. Just 80 watt bulbs vs 54.
Do you think its a good idea to go ahead and start acclimating over the 75. 125 won't be ready until end of this month.
