Acclimating Crocea from the sun

[pIankton]

A buddy of mine has a Crocea in his greenhouse that I'll be picking up within the next few weeks to a month. There's no supplemental lighting in the greenhouse and it gets pounded by the sun. Very healthy and very large.

Is there any particular measures I need to take to acclimate it to a Tek 6 bulb light with new bulbs? The tank is about 2 years old and I just switched my bulbs this past Friday.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Make sure your water params are good and place it as close to the T5s as you can. Overtime you should be able to lower it within the tank if you want.

i would just place him in the tank about 1/2 way up, their isn't as much shock going to lesser light as with brighter.
