Does anybody think hanging their fixture from the 2 mounting arms would work? I already have the arms, set as high as the fixture can go because I want my tank to be clear so you can see through to the wall behind it. But I don't want any cords or the extra height from the metal poles to ruin the look. So I'm thinking of maybe hanging it from those arms, I'm just concerned that it might not be stable enough.

7-9" about water
Start at 30-40% peak for no more than 4 hours increase 5% each week until at 50% then 2-3% weekly until 70%. Then you can increase peak hours 1 a week until you are where you want it. A PAR would be a huge help to you.
Just find the colors you like, doesn't matter what.

That's what I have on my reefer 350

Tbh I don't have the tools and I live in an apartment, which is why I opted for the mounting arms at first.

How high are you running the fixture? And are you supplementing anything in addition?

Fixture came in today! I will be setting it up asap to get corals out of holding tank. What intensity should I be running to acclimate?

I have it about 9" from the surface and no supplement lighting. Low light corals on the sides and high intensity light corals in the middle and top

What kind of lighting and intensity did they have in the holding tank?
My general rule is 35%+5% each week there after. @50% increase 2-3% until 70% or desired intensity. A PAR meter should be used

I don't have access to a par meter. They're coming from my holding tank running AI Prime HD at 72%

I just got the fixture up and initial program set. Says the fixture firmware is 2.1? How do I update to the latest firmware?

Is it possible to setup/control the light via app on both an ipad and iPhone and have them be in sync?

Alright, start at 40% for a week, then 5% every 7 days until about 50%. There after 2-3% weekly all the way to 70%. Kessil suggest at least a 4 hour peak and I suggest around 6. What ever you do do not use the preset "Acclimation" program. Its way to fast.
Why so slow? I advise this routine because the lights are powerful. Though you may not see the same peak hot spots with huge PAR numbers the difference with this light is the spread. Low-Med light corals placed on the sand/around edges/ corners will receive significantly higher PAR in those areas and can easily be damaged very quickly. Also recovering from too much light can take a very long time if ever.

So what do you do when you get new frags that did not come from an LED tank and your current corals are already used to the AP700 at 70%?
I place new corals on the sand for a week or so and then place them where I want them.

Inside the wet area? What are they made of? Could leach metals into the system as it corrodes.
