Question about light acclimation...

[ReefGimp]

I have started acclimating my 5 1/2 gallon to the new 2 x 55 watt lighting that I got. I am running the actinic for a couple hours then the daylights kick on for about 5 hours and the actinics say on an addtional 2 hours. Does this sound ok?

The corals are all opening and thinks look "ok"


Thanks for the advice.

IMHO, I don't think 110 watts of PC are going to "shock" anything. I would run them all on an 8 hr. cycle. It is a high watts/ gallon combination, but it is still only two 55 watt PC bulbs.

However, the periods you described should work just fine.
