I'm wondering if I should do another 30% water change tonight to be safe.

I think that water change = cheap insurance. Just when you think you have it worked out, I mean you have back-up pumps ready to go and everything. You need beer!

I would do a water change, even if it won't help, definitely it won't hurt and I would dim the lights a bit. A week ago when we checked your light level it was quite high.

Did another 30% water change and lights have been dimmed until the acros recover. Fingers are crossed.

Seems like a good plan of attack. Good luck. Make sure your skimmer is running well too - it can remove all sorts of yuckies.

Things slowly improving can guarantee looking at the corals it was the increased light intensity. As most lower colonies in the tank show no I'll effect.
