I have upgraded from a 48 inch 4 bulb T5HO to full spec Zetlight LED fixture in a established tank. I started the LED's at 55% intensity of the default programming settings for each channel and have ramped up to 70% of the factory settings over a few weeks. I have seen no browning or bleaching in corals. Some Zoas but not all do appear to be stretching more for light and 2 RBTAs stretch further then when I had T5's.
The question is do I keep going uping the intensity 5-10% weekly until I hit 100% of default programming or see browning/whitening in corals? Since I am using the 'default programming' which is not set to 100% of each channel I think I have a ways to go before I get the fixtures 100% level for its channels. It appears that most people do not run their LEDs at 100%. Is this rule or guideline? Just wondering the acclimation process and where does it end.
