[duke62]

just curious to see who acclimates there SPS .i havent yet and all my SPS have survived.

I would acclimate for temp and lighting. Not a choice up there.

i acclimate for lightning all the time, temp and param i do cause I dip all my corals anyways so may as well.

 

[Galantra]

Just temp and pars for me, Lighting isn't something that worries me

 

[Mattl22]

I just float for few hrs to temp acclimate
Sps In my experience don't like to be moved around I just pick a good spot and glee them in moving them just seems to stress them out

I voted for all of the above. As far as lighting.....I think it's important to start the coral near the bottom of the tank and then slowly move it up to it's final destination. Especially if the coral came from a tank with different intensity lighting or different spectrum lighting. Significant lighting changes seem to stress corals. I would rather have it lose some color by being too low then bleach from shock of too much light.
