Adding t5's to quickly?

[Lareefguy]

Hey y'all, I added a hybrid light to my reef too go along with two radions. I added two t5's yesterday. How long should I wait before adding the next two t5's? I just don't wanna stress or kill any coral with too much light too quickly: thanks!!!

Depends a lot on how long you you are running them, which light you added (reflector type?), how high off the water, how high off your coral, etc. In general, I'd say a week or 2. Closer to 1 week if you are slowly ramping up time oe if they are high off the water, 2 weeks if you are running them more then 6 hours and they are close to the water.
