    I finally got my lights in the mail last night after 3 weeks of waiting, my question is I just had the normal florescent lighting, now I have a 4x54 watt T5 system. Do I just do my normal light cycle or do I slowly increase the amount of light? How should I acclimate my coral start at the bottom and work up?
