lighting acclimation
just wondering if you guys have had problems with acclimating a coral properly to a new lighting..
i think its one of the main cause of losing a few sps of mine becuase i didn't acclimate them properly =o( lost 4 differ acros within a week 1 acro i lost when i swapped my lighting setup from 175 to 250 after a day of having the new lighting setup the acro deterioriated in a 3 hour span 1 cap took a couple of days and the other 3 acro after a week.. =o( trying to fid a reason on why i lost them =o( wonder if its the recent removal of my dsb as well i notice a 10ppm peak of ammonia right after i removed the dsb n reaquascaped the tank. then the nitrate spiked up to 15ppm after a couple of days . prolly help the stress on the tank tank param. ammonia -0 nitrite -0 nitrate -5ppm ph. -7.9-8.2 alk -11dkh ca -went from 420 to 380 during the dsb removal prolly due to a 30% water change haven't tested silica or phosphate
