Am I really going to have to re-acclimate everything to new bulbs? I'm going from the Hamilton 14k's to Reeflux 10K's. I got them today and was wondering if I would really have to acclimate everything to the light. If I do have to, how should i go about it?

Going from 14k to 10k you will need to acclimate your SPS or you'll fade everything.
Kris a lot of guys on RC use the window screen method where they remove a layer of screening each week or so. I would shorthen the photoperiod 2 hrs and feel it out from there. If the corals get lighter shorten more, if they get darker extend photoperiod more.
