What bulbs are you using and do you have actinics?

I'm using the 10k xms and right now I have no actinics. I'm actually really liking the colour, it's very white. Hopefully it won't change too drastically when the bulbs burn in

ooooops, I woke up this morning to a tank full of pastel corals, I tried to acclimate them slowly but I guess it wasn't slow enough

I'm using the HQI ballasts that came with the hamilton hood

How long and what technique did you use to try and acclimatize them to the new lights?
