IMO if you are coming from T5's I would acclimate acclimate acclimate start slow it may save some corals.

Sounds good to me

my hammers look like they are dying...stringy stuff coming out of them i turned my numbers down too...white 20, violet 40, red 20, green 20, blue 40, royal 40, UV 20, and i did a 30 day acclimate at 30%.....is that ok?

i also moved the corals about 20" inches down below lights ....lights are 8" above water line and i have glass tops.

well hopefully they were damaged to much from the light and come back for you, i started with my lights 9" off top of water and have gone to 11" better coverage and not as strong.

I moved my light also from 7" to 11.5"

I'm at 14" due to my tank being only 17" tall

I also noticed with the hydra's that I have some really bright area's (spot light) on top of some high rocks. I moved my poker star monti down as I saw some bleaching.
I think that looking to see were your corals are located is also a big part of the acclimation.
right now my readings are @ high noon
white: 50% @ 4hrs
red: 50% for 2 hrs
green: 60% @ 3hrs
RB: 80% @ 6hrs
DB:80% @ 6hrs
violet:80 @ 4hrs
UV: 50% @ 3hrs

I am still in acclimation mode in week 2 @ 40%

I am trying to mimic sunlight levels @ 2 meters (6ft) My lights are 10inch above water.

I am thinking that I will be lowering my blues to 70%

no ill effects (small bleaching on pokerstar monti) - have noticed accelerated growth on all sps

Is this why we havent gotten an update in a while for the director? lol

 

[Sonicboom]

Lol most likely. Hopefully things just get better from here.

 

[saltyair]

I hope they come out with an update soon on the director.
can the director and the controller work together? or is it one or the other?

It's one or the other. However I would like to see an offline mode if the Internet is down.
