I change all bulbs at once, but raise fixture 6-8 inches.  Then drop the fixture back down an inch or so per week. 

Can't remember if you're fixture is in a hood or not though... just another alternative

If you were running ATI's before, I'd go one per week. If you were running another brand, then one per two weeks. Just a guesstimate.]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2013 19:30:06 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61535&PID=501893&title=bulb-change#501893 <![CDATA[bulb change : I am ready to change bulbs in...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61535&PID=501861&title=bulb-change#501861 Author: phinfan

I am ready to change bulbs in my ATI sunpower.  Instead of changing them all at once in an attempt not to shock any of my corals.  I am planning to change 1 bulb at a time until I have them all changed out.  

What would be a good amount of time from one bulb to the next?   I changed my first last night.

Thanks

Rick
