Help me to acclimate please !

[Feerlaroc]

I had some SPS under 3 95w PC bulbs, and now I am acclimating them to my new dual 400w fixture in a new tank. I have the fixture raised to about 2' over the water line, My corals are on the bottom of the tank. I have been slowly raising the photoperiod up from about an hour & a half, now I'm at about 2 hours. My question is what order should I do things in ? In other words should I move the corals up to where I want them first, then increase the photoperiod, then lower fixture? What is the best order to do this? Can you do all of these at the same time? I'm probably being a little over cautious, but I don't want to bleach anything! Any advice is appreciated !

I would slowly adjust the photo period, then lower lights, then slowly raise the corals to the location you want. I am currently doing the same thing except for I didn't raise my lights any higher.
