What is the negative effect of replacing all at once?

I am changing my 10k de halide bulbs to phoenix 14k. My question is will there be any changes I need to do with run time of lights or acclimation. I was told the 14k phoenix bulbs should be replaced one at a time with 1 week in between bulbs.

Very hard coral to keep. I personally have lost 2 in the past with perfect levels and they were fine one day and took turn for the worst the second. Make sure all levels are good and hope for the best. Sorry to hear you are having trouble with it.

Get a clean up crew. Snails and hemits will take care of the sand. You don't want to disturb the sand any more than necessary. Could cause spike if disturbed too much.
