Switching from LED to LED

[Justin Swinney]

I currently have an sbreef led light on my 10g reef with sps, lps, and zoas. I wanted a little more controllability and the ability to ramp up and down so I ordered a nanobox ride plus m. My question is will I have to acclimate my corals to the new led or not and how I should go about doing that

 

[sbash]

Yeah, I would.

Although I would acclimate over a couple weeks instead of one change per week (which could take a month or so)...

I buy frags from a local reefer on occasion. He has a Razor fixture and he upgraded the LED modules in them and half his coral bleached out because he did not acclimate... Nothing died, fortunately, but the minor change in spectrum had dramatic consequences...

If you don't have a par meter , like this.
