Some close ups of the corals.

All the Acros lost a ton of colour, the TriColour has almost completely lost it's colour, a small hint of purple can be seen on the very top right on the last picture.

My Kessil A60WE is about 9 inches above the water level and max intensity so far is 30%, do you guys think that's high/low?

With 50% water changes and carbon and GFO your water could be too clean. Color loss could just be the corals are starving.

Major update, I made my mind up and decided to get out of the hobby following losing my torch coral and then not doing any water changes for 2.5 months. I had a brand new still sealed high quality tub of salt 23kg I believe and many other items for sale. Nothing sold for 2 weeks or so, so I decided to use the new salt for a water change and change the scape and give it another crack. I bought some more torch corals and some other things but for whatever reason everything kept dying. Currently this is how my tank looks right now with all livestock doing well. I haven't added or taken any rock away, I simply laid it down and I like it much better, gives me so much more real estate to place corals on.
