Viparspectra 300w Settings

Hey all!

I have a 65 gallon deep tank that is hung 11” from my tank. I have a RBTA that’s at the top of the tank after roaming for a few days after introduction, a Kenya tree on the sand bed, a GSP near the bottom, two rock nems near the upper/mid of tank, and some Zoas all on different levels. Everything is open and colored well. My only concern is that the RBTA has only been in my tank for a little over a week and seems to be bleached. It was very pale when I got it but now it seems almost translucent except for a tan base and pink tips. My lights are currently at 50 blue and 20 white. I haven’t had these lights but about a month so I really need to find a good setting for them. I have been playing with them but can’t find the right ratio. The blues run from 7:30am to 10pm and whites run from 9:00am to 10pm.
The first pic is the RBTA in her tank, second is it this morning, and third is my tank.

Only run the whites for 5 hrs a day at 5%, the rest of the time blue only 10hrs to 12hrs. 50% should be fine. hanging at 18in is best for spectrum and spread on these if possible.

Thank you! Does my RBTA look bleached to you?

Yes it does. Keep things stable and should bounce back
