Acropora Photo-Shock recovery

[Scinature]

Good ways to recover heavyly photo-shocked Acropora?

I've upgraded my lights from a 6x80w T5 to 3x400w (radium bulbs) with 4x80w T5. A
few colonies have lost a lot of colour, but not entirely bleached (tan brown colour).

I have since risen the lights to 40cm above water level and photo period to 5 hours, with supplement T5 on when halide isn't on.

Is using redsea energy, or seachem reef plus, etc worth using? Any suggestions?

Thanks guys.

Personally I would leave everything alone and test alk frequently avoid an alk spike due to lower demand

Totally agree. Often the second problem [alk spike] is worse then the initial problem.
