One 250w MH really shouldn't be bleaching your corals. How high in the light and what are the dimensions of the tank?

I don't see those as good reef lights. Alot of white compared to blue so it will have a 10k look probably. Try an aquastyles DIY led kit. Can control the colors. Pick what you want and good price.

Tank is 24 inches deep and lights 8 inches above that. It's on for 8 hours a day

No more kits for my just got one for my 14 nano and nothing but problems

All my water prams are normal, moved acans into shaded spot of tank and within 24 hours they already started to plump back up and a little color is showing. Also it's not all my corals bleaching it's certain ones.
Ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0, nitrate is 5 (sometimes is 0), Alk is 9, calcium stable 460. Ph 8.1

temp?

Temp goes from 79 at night to 83 when the lights on for a while

The issue may be with your temp then. You always want to try to keep it stable and in my experience under 80-81F.

Ok ill I'm getting LEDs so that should keep temp down. If not I'll have to get a chiller. Thanks for ur help
