Hi Mike,
I usually tell people this for acclimation. Am I wrong.
Lux meter will help with that. App or $15 meter from Amazon. Meter the t5 ,Pick your color mix. Match the overall intensity and drop it by 30% IMO. ramp up from there. you should be able to match the old intensity over the next couple weeks. watch the corals. Youll likely be able to keep going. Watch the corals. AND GO SLOW.
Thank you sir. This I know too well about the wavelengths. Intimate actually.Not a bad place to start.
However a LUX meter will not measure wavelength, so for example when switching from a MarsAqua to a SB Reef Light you would think, just match intensity since they are both 165w units. However if you do that you may cook your corals. Our spectrum is much heavier in 450nm, 420nm etc... That being said, a Lux meter or even a LUX meter app is a decent place to start.

If my memory is correct each 16" unit covers 24x24 inches. So 2 for a standard 75 should be good.Hey ya'll.
New to the forum thing (i know, i have no Avatar yet, i'm workin on it), but does anyone have any follow up on this post about the SB Wifi lights? An update on your tank, Trickyrich? I'm thinking of buying some SB Wifi too, but I don't know how many I would need of which for a 48" long standard 75 gallon. Anyone?
No prob, and yes I believe the 16" does come in wifi.ah ReefQueen sweet, thank you!!! i wonder if those come in Wifi? i'm just starting to learn about this brand?
Hi, I dont go by %. its not really a quantified number like par or lux. I do this.Hello Salty- I will be acclimating with lighting soon. Was wondering how soon you would know if the light was too strong for your corals? Is it like, days or weeks that they would bleach? It seems like most of these high powered LED light setups have most not being able to go over 35% - 40% probably....
