Do you think I need to light acclimate for my corals in the following situation? I have a 75 gallon with 440watts of VHO all on one ballast. In order to get a dusk/dawn going with another ballast and some T5HO lighting, I'm thinking about buying a 39watt T5HO single Actinic bulb in a retrofit kit. It is at:

and is part # LT-VA27105
1) With only adding an extra 39watts of T5HO would I need to light acclimate at all? This will bring me from 5.9wpg to 6.4wpg, with just adding extra actinic light.
2) My other option is to just put a PC bulb on there instead, but I'm thinking the T5HO would be better if I want to put some type of SPS or Clam in there. Or do you think it doesn't make a difference since it is only one bulb?
Thank you.
