Bought a bunch of SPS, how should I go about acclimating?

So this past weekend was reefapalooza in socal, and I kind of went crazy buying all the acros I have wanted.:bounce3: Right now I have 11 new frags that have been in there for 2 days, PE is great on most of them, and they are all on the sand bed acclimating. I was wondering how to go about the placement now, here is the list of the acros i got

Pink Lemonade
Tierra Del Fuego
Strawberry shortcake
Ice fire echinata
aussie highlighter
red planet
red sunset millepora
unknown millepora
unknown blue/green tenuis
joe the coral

also coming in the mail from cherry corals (i won the raffle for a 200 dollar gift certificate and they were having a 20 percent off sale the same weekend, couldn't help myself!)

ora frogskin
ora hawkins echinata
ora borealis
cc cali tort
cc fuzzy and blue

So you can see I went a bit overboard :hammer: Anyways they were all dipped well and added, no pests that I can see so far. I am watching the alk cal and mag closely because of the big addition. So I have a few questions, if you can help I would greatly appreciate it.

Using 2x radion gen 2 at mostly 20k during the day and deep blue at night. at around average 75% through the day.


1. How long should I wait before moving them up?

2. Are there any pieces I should be especially careful of?

3. Is it better to start higher and have them slightly bleach before moving them lower, or to start low and have them brown out then moving them up?

If you have any other tips that might help it would be appreciated, thanks guys.
