Acclimating to T5 set up.

[vikubz]

I have a 75 gallon with soft corals and just got a 4x54 watt t5 fixture. I had been using a 4 x 65 watt pc fixture. I had them set to be on from 12 pm to 9 pm. What sort of schedule is recommended to acclimate corals to the more intense light?

Start with 6 hours. If you have the ability to run actinics on separate from the daylight type bulbs, I'd run the actinics 8 hours and the daylights 6 hours (0verlapping with the actinics coming on before and staying on after 1 hr each side). I'd run it like that for 10 days and add an hour, then 10 days and add an hour.
