What do you have your lighting setting set to? I have the same tank and same lighting as you. I am struggling with bleaching out corals.
well i started out in acclimation mode on day 1 and once that completed i set the lights up at 53%. fast forward 5 months to today my intensity is set at 55%. i may bump it up a couple more points but likely won't need it over 60% any time soon.
keep in mind what works for me may be problematic for you. our tanks have similar measurements and lighting but coral placement and especially nutrients play an enormous part in how well the corals receive light and the closer to zero nutrients you have exposes corals to bleaching.

Mixed reef... I bought the pros for a little more control over the spectrum.
