Don’t look at the langur the light is on i accidentally moved it but is this good par on the hello reef tank using the ai blade 16 inch 1 inch above the water with hammer and torch corals half way deep or is it to low
 
Its not possible to tell the par from looking at a schedule, only a par meter can test the par. I just googled this light, and it is a 20 watt light, which is not strong. What size is your tank?
 
15 gallon hello reef
I would turn your light up to 100%. For perspective I use an AI Prime on my 15 gallon which is 55 watts and its set at 85% for mostly mushrooms and zoa's.
