    Hi
    I have a question, how do I climatize my coral to my new metal halide light?


    Thanks for any help you can give

    You can put layers of acrylic and take one sheet off every hour. You can also float the bag, the bag will filter some but not a lot.

    Along those lines you can use layers of window screening. But I am lazy, I just started doing this myself last week by suspending my new halide lamp further away from the tank than normal. This week I'll move it down.
