Well don't do anything drastic, obviously the corals are reacting to the pumps messing up the water. for now i would try to stabilize the parameters close to what normal is for you as you can.

For the pictures most use a photo bucket account take 2 min to sign up (it free and you upload to there and then copy paste the link to the board)

500 calcium isn't to to insane its the alk swings that mostly would cause the corals to bleach initially

Low alk swing that quick will bleach the lower part of the corals and a quick rise in alk will bleach the tips of the corals so sounds like it droped off quick

mag is ok at 1500 temporally
calcium at 500 is ok temporally

Alk at 8.3 is ok

Take all the dosing off line id say until the levels are back in range then slowly dial it back up, watch your corals to see if the bleaching stays or starts to spread
