So, I've been operating with the standard T8 that came with my hood, and I want to upgrade to T5 HO for my corals, and also so that I can have a greater variety of corals.
My question is one of acclimation. Everyone in the tank is used to the T8. Is the switch from one 48" T8 to 2 48" T5 bulbs going to be so dramatic as to require moving the corals lower for a while, or should they do ok with the sudden change in intensity? I want to upgrade ASAP, even though there are more responsible ways I could spend my money. *sheepish grin*
