Looking for any advice or acclimation tips. I'm switching from de 250w 20k to the phoenix bulbs. Should I run the lights for less time to let my corals adjust? Mixed reef with several SPS and soft corals
 
You shouldn't have any issues switching bulbs using the same time frame.
 
14k phoenix is like most popular bulb used if you are worried just raise your light 2" then lower it after a week
 
So since the switch, everything has done very well except for my orange digi. It has bleached and only has a faint bit of orange left.
