LED break in

[Karsten]

Hello I have a mixed reef 48x18x16 lxwxh. Currently I am running 4 superblues a couple inches over the water. I am switching to 2060 evergrow LEDS. The only experience I have with leds is on nano tanks. How do I safely and successfully transition my tank?

Is there a good forum that explains the process?

You need to run 2 evergrow 2060 to lit up your 4 ft tank. my old ones was a d120 and it's manually adjusted. i would start at low percentage and gradually increase it over the next couple of days. if you see any of your corals are shrinking then it could be due to excess light. you may want to hang yours higher because of your shallow tank

I just hung em and cranked em full blast. No problems for me lol.

haha that is rare. Many do the same thing and end up with a beautifully white sps tank. It depends on what light you are coming from. I usually recommend if you are coming from 250w mh bulb you can start near 100% per 120w of led. if any less just start at 100% on blue and 50% on white and go from there.
