If your previous fixture was less then 250, yes you need to get your corals use to the higher wattage.
Most use window fiber glass screen to do this. When I changed my fixture from 3X175 watt MH to 3X250's I put 4 or 5 layers of the screens, and removed 1 every week.

Trial and error my friend! Research, 8+ years experience, and the great family here.
I'm glad it all worked out for you without the trap..... I'm not staying up all night to catch a fish.LOL My nights of staying up late are gone...lol
