I’d probably move it lower. I have two acans one on the sandbed and another about 3 inches above the sandbed on a rock both are in low light low flow in about 50 par. I find that when they were in higher light they start shrinking and loses their colors turning mostly red/orange. My calcium is at 460, alk 8.8 and mag 1450.

I will probably move it under the macro, less light and flow.

I will be switching to AF reef salt next week or so. AF sea salt is too low imo.

I’ve updated my post with pic. Yeah you can try that. Go slow on changing your parameter. Your tank looks new, don’t see much corals, I think you should be okay to switch.

It looks good! I hope I can bring mine back to this state.

Yeah will do a 50/50 on new salt mix
