Bleaching problems, tips on height and hours photo period

[Rixar]

These are the measurements, the points match the areas on my rock where I can put corals, the bottom points are from the front of the tank, The screen is elevated just 10 'from the first point, I have changed a blue bulb for an actinic bulb, My pair does not reach 400 on the surface, but I'm using an accessory of 8 bulbs and I only turn 6, I guess this will make the light this more distributed so it does not reach 400.

I followed your recommendations by adjusting 100 in the background, is this correct? With this pair can I keep acroporas on top?

My thinking is to place seriatospores in the areas between 150 and 200 and acroporas in the highest areass

Thanks again for the help

You should be fine with this configuration.

Once the current corals acclimate and also heal from the damage. You may be able to extend the amount of time the lights are on at full power.

Many corals can use a high amount of light. But must be acclimated to it slowly. Sometimes over weeks.

I believe the original problem came from haveing too much light too fast.

For many acropora (and other high light coral)needing higher light a par of 350 for 10 hours is good.

For lower light acropora 200 par for the same is also quite good.

The only problem I can see in your tank is it will be hard to have low light corals.
But I also have very very few low light corals.

My interest is to put all hard corals, I have only brought from my previous aquarium some acans and zoas, I leave a photo, so you can see the layout of the rock, When hard corals grow, they may shade and put some other corals lps under
