So I upgraded to LED and seems like they are too high so need to be adjusted. I noticed the green pol being white and brown. So obviously too much. Is the section at the too done for or can it be saved with only blue lights for a while? Rest of the coral is doing well.

What LEDs do you have? Are they dimmable? If they are turn the down real low and slowly turn them up a little at a time

I can dim them. How do I know when o get the right strength? Is that section of the coral that seems burt gone? Seems like the polyps came out.

I have the same LED's. I started mine at the very minimum and gradually raised them over two weeks. I still only have them at half strength due tithe height. I have a 40 breeder and it doesn't sit too high off the tank. Maybe a couple inches at most. I have mushrooms, Kenya tree, and star polyps so far is all, but takin my time with it. All corals are doing great and spreading fast with that setting.

I also have the same. 2 in my 55. Started with the blues about half way and the whites less then a quarter turn. After 2 months I have my blues at 100% and my whites at about 50%. I have a nem frogspawn a ricardia some polyps and another coral(forget the name). They are doing great. I've had the torch for a week and is already splitting a new head
