So I got a green branching monti yesterday and I would like to know the best way to light acclimate it. I have reef breeders value LED lights set at 25 percent with the monti at the bottom of the tank. Should I instead be putting the monti at the location I want it to be at and lower the light's power to compensate, and then slowly bring the power back up? Or should I raise the frag slowly over a few weeks to the location I want it to be at?

Hi grant
If you have other corals in the tank don't bring down light's power.
It might stress them or it might not.
Personaly i wouldn't take the risk.
Like you said,i'd put the monti at the bottom of the tank and after a couple of days/weeks(depending on it's health/look) i'd glew it to the desired location:beer:

There isn't much to look at right now besides a few ricordeas and other mushrooms but do you think it is ready to move up?

Wise move grant!:thumbsup:Here is a photo. I accidentally broke the frag in three getting it off the plug because one time I brought aiptasia into my tank from the fish store's plug.
Had the same thing happen to me and since then no rock comes into my tank.
Even if that means getting rid of 20-30% of the coral or give the rock to bolder friends than me
Coral looks great!
