So I had a orbit led light that was 30 watts and I learned I’m supposed to have 5 watts per gallon my tank is 33 gallon tall so I bought a 165watt light. The mars aqua 165w and set it up 12 inches above as suggested my nem seem to enjoy it. I had the light at a 100% which now I realize was a mistake and I might have burn/bleached some of my corals. I watched a video where he explained that they are strong and to start of with 30%color and 70%blue lights so I moved it to that for now and fed my nem some mysis. The last two pictures are before the new light when it was more green

The left side is bleached a little bit but not too bad. I would just keep feeding it and it should come back

So how much light should I be providing rn to prevent further bleaching but still provide substantial light
 
Sorry but I have no experience with that light.
