Maxspect 120 16K for SPS help !!!

[lauroy]

Hey everyone, I have a Maxspect 120 16K on my 60 cube, It is mounted with the legs. I have Kenya Tree, GSP, PSP, Branching Hammer and a couple Chalices....they seem to be doing fine. Tank has been stable, perameters all within reef specs.... thing is I have tried an encrusting Monti and a Ora Valida and both are losing color. I stated them in the sand and slowly week by week moved them up...only got to midway in the tank before they started losing color. This is my current timer scenario:


0800 0-0
1200 34-50
1600 50-63
1900 38-50
2100 0-1
2300 0-0


Any suggestions? Is the light too intense? Thanks in advance

I'd like to tag along, I have bleached montipora, and two Acro with my razor. My Acro has solid polyp extension currently but it bleached and has gotten back a tiny bit of color back .

I have ran it as high as 60-70 but I toned it down after bleaching stuff
