acclimating to new light

[cartoonbear]

as of now my 125g (60"x18"x24") is under 8*65 watt PCs. 4 10k and 4 actinics

I will be getting 6*54 watt tek T5 retro with IceCap reflectors. 3 ATI aquablue and 3 ATI blue pluses.

My question is how will I acclimate the corals to these new lights? There are mainly softies (zoas, shrooms, leathers and such) in the tank as of now. If I decide to replace one of these blue pluses with an aquablue or 10 k later how would I acclimate the corals to it?

thanks

I think that the switch from the pc to the t5's wont be too much of an issue concerning acclimations. If you are concerned though, then you can place some egg crates in between the light system and the tank and just start with less time then usual with the lights on and work your way back up to normal hours of operation.
