introduction of LED's to my tank

[Velocity]

My 165 watt dimmerable full spectrum leds will be in tomorrow. I am hanging them and wanted to know how you guys would introduce them to the tank?

Heard they could burn corals if not done correctly

2 sets on 100gal

Just a tag so I can watch because mine will be in any day as well ...

depending on what lights you've already got on there and what you keep I'd say anywhere from 40% blue up to 60%, and 20-40% whites. Lower is better starting out but the best judge will be to see how your corals react

Agree with the above. Part of it also depends on if you have optics, wattage of the LED's, height above water line, and depth of the corals in the tank. Starting lower is better. Just keep an eye out for any signs of bleaching and increase about 5% a week until you get results you are happy with.

Thanks

What brand of LED setup do you have? Or was it a kit? And do you have a controller?
