How many days do you guys and gals leave each layer of screen on? I'm light acclimating some sps and ricordeas. I currently have 4 pieces of screen and egg crate to support them. How many days until i should remove the first screen in your opinion? I've heard anywhere between 2-4 days.

Did you just switch lights? I'd say like every 3-4 days while keeping a close eye on them smile.gif

nah same lights. I bleached some corals and read somewhere "it's never too late to light acclimate". They were on the sandbed and still took a beating. So I figured I would give it a shot. Hopefully that quote I read was correct and it's not too late. They are healthy, just not happy.
All flesh is still in tact no rtn or stn.

6x39w t5ho. Got worse when I put my giessman bulbs in even though I did one a week.
16inch depth tank 1-2 inch sandbed lights are mounted on legs.

How's your sps situation going btw?

Ehh.

Random RTN. SUCKS. Change in flow and light. Blehhh. Water parameters have been dead-on perfect for the past 3 months, and I have a water test log to show it. I didn't lose my favorite pieces though, so it's okay.
