Kessil A80 on a Spec 3 way tooo powerful

So I love the size of the light and it's been on for a week 8 hours a day.

It didn't seem very bright so I cranked it up to 100%.

After a few days, it bleached out the top inch or so of the coralline algae in the front right rock.

Guess I'll dial it back to 50% and see how the frags react

Yeah I would start as low as you can go and start from there, I have a Kassil 160 on a 7 gallon cube and I started at the lowest setting and did the lowest increments possible and I am still below 50%
