Acclimating Corals to LED's- first time with LED's

[VAReefDog]

I have 2 ReefBreeder Superlux lights over a 75 gallon tank. They are hung about 7-8 inch over water level.
I will be getting some frags for the tank this weekend- first corals for the tank. Tank is cycled for 2 months, currently has CUC and a blue-green chromis only.

The frags are coming from 3 different fellow reefers- 1 with MH, 1 with LED's- not sure type or settings, and 1 with T5's.

This is my first time ever using LED's. Given this mixture of frags from multiple sources- my plan was standard temp acclimate and dip frags.
Then, place all on sand bed. I was going to drop light intensity to about 15% on Channel 1 (whites/other spectrum)- I had been running Channel 1 at 40% and 30% on channel 2 (blues) which I had been running at 70%.
I was thinking gradually increasing the intensity by 5% every couple days.

Is this correct?
Do I get the intensity I want and then find the vertical location on the rockwork the coral is happy with?
Any idea how long this will take to get them acclimated?
Thanks for the help.

Following - my wife just told me last night that my anniversary gift was a pair of BML XBs to replace the half-junky MH/ T5 system I have now

Should take them about 2 weeks to get acclimated to light. Or atleast in my experience. I would put them 10-12" off the water like you said start around 15% intensity and work your way up over a couple weeks. better to be safe than sorry. I had a very nice pink polyp capricornis bleach when I started to use my kessil a360w.

So get intensity slowly up to where I want it then get coral to correct height in rockwork?
And would 1-2 day between increases in intensity work ok?
Thanks

7-8" why so low?

Reefbreeders recommends hanging them from 6-10" off the water.
With my canopy and the hook/wire I am using- the are about 8 inches off water. This is highest I can go with a quick release system/caribener- without screwing the lights directly to canopy.

When intensifying light, limiting photoperiod and increasing slowly is a good idea.

Thank you for the help.
I was under the impression photoperiod was not as critical as intensity- that you can wipe out a coral with too high of intensity pretty quickly regardless of if 3-4 hour or 8 hour.
I agree with doing things slowly is always a good idea- but not sure what the general time frame to look at- 1 week, 2 weeks?
Again- thanks for everyone's help.
