Moon phase on both rb and b

The ONLY reason that my SPS are keeping good color is because the intensity of my lighting. IMHO I would've never gotten this kind of results if my lighting are set any lower.

In my personal experience, I have acclimated most of my sps corals to led intensity within a week or two depending on where the sps came from. For example I got a few frags off Brad and his tank is lit by 400W mh, with in a couple of days I mounted them directly under the LED with out any issues. It's got awesome polyp extension and is looking better then ever, but If it would have gone under less intense light I can almost guarranty it would have browned out. Important note here is finding out where the sps were situated from the original tank and what kind of lighting was on it so you can make the proper adjustments for acclimation.
