I have 2 Xr30 Pros G3, at 8" above water line at 60% intensity for a heavily dominated SPS tank. What do you keep yours at?

I have 2 Gen3 pros with RMS mounts and Ive been trying to go above 50% for months but if I get near 60% lower light corals like Montipora start to bleach. I have a 24" deep tank. I have a friend with 2 G3 pros that runs them at 100% not sure how he doesn't fry everything.

Maybe they aren't acclimated to that much light? I dialed my ligths back to 55%, because I noticed some were starting to pale out a little. This could also be because my nitrates were 0-1ppm, which could also have been a reason why the paled out. Since then, I dosed potassium nitrate to get it up to 3-5ppm.

Anytime I increase the intensity I never go more than 10% and use acclimation mode for a minimum of 4 weeks
