PC to LED conversion question

[szgppl]

I'm converting my JBJ 28, nano PC to LED Rapid kit. I was going to start at 10% for 5 days then 15% for 5 and so on, is this to fast in general. I'll watch the corals and see what they tell me.
This is what I was looking at for the layout for the leds, I do have a few extra LEDs to play with, NW, WW, B, and RB

RB-royal blue, CW –cool white, B-blue
RB CW RB CW RB
CW RB B RB CW
RB CW RB CW RB
CW RB B RB CW

Hi there. I think you're definitely on the right track as far as acclimating your corals to the new light.

5 days should be plenty for each bump in intensity. Just keep an eye on your corals as you said and make sure they are not looking abnormal.

I'm sure someone will chime in on your layout.

IMO depending on the corals that you plans to grow. I would go for the "Full Spectrum" and add a couple red, green, and UV chips to round out the color spectrum. I have the same tank and added just white and blue, and was only able to grow corals to a limit. My softies grew very well but my sps did not far so well, as my clam. But that being said the lps, brains , acans, and blastos did well under this light. Good luck with your build.

Sounds about right for the lighting bumps. Hard to reverse a burn if you go to fast.

I'd switch out the cool whites for neutral whites and possibly add 2-4 violets

Tnx for the replies, so far going good with the switch. I added in the two neutral whites. I was able to remove the coating on the glass so ended up with 25 led's. I was thinking adding on UV's, need to order a few. I got the solder-less so I could switch them out easy, if I don't like the way they look. Some things are starting to show some color, so that's good. The wife likes the look of the LED's which is always a plus.
