I have 2 AI Vega colors over a 55g tank

lights are 9' off the surface and I have them set at

W 27
all blues 85
R 25
G 30

most of my coral is LPS and I feel that even at 27% white, the coral might be getting too much light...I have some PE polyps on the corners of my tank on the sand bed and they are drooping, also have zoanthids which are in the bottom 3rd that are doing the same thing. Also have some acans on the sand bed that were puffed up and looking great now all of a sudden kind of sunken

not sure if this is due to the light or what??

I have a red monti cap in the upper 3rd that is not bleaching and keeping color

water parameters are:

Salinity 1.025
temp 79
PH 8
NO3 0
Alk 9.2
Cal 405
Mag 1240

Tank is 5 months old
 
I have a red blasto colony that is somewhat looking faded...it is on the sand bed

but yet I have a GOW zoa reaching at mid way

I just set my lights at, 40% coral acclimation for 6 weeks

W 40
R 20
G 25
B 95
DB 95
RB 95


does this look like a good ending point? long enough acclimation period?
