I got the new MH fixture I actually went with a Hamilton full hood. 2x250 14k hamiltons, 2x96 atinics 2fans and LED. I tested it out on the tank and it looks like a whole new tank. Now comes the patience of acclimating the tank to the new light. Any suggestions on how to go about this.

Keep an eye on how everything is doing, and slowly acclimate to the MH-start the photoperiod for those at 3-4 hours only, and slowly (like maybe add an hour each week) bring them up to where you want them to be. Again, be patient, and if things start to look a little stressed or bleached around the edges, cut back on the MH times.
