help with par readings

[reefyguy]

I hace 3 250 watt SE halides in lumen bright finshed reflectors. the glass is 7 inches off the water. My goal is to maximize coral growth and coloration

here are the par readings from the bottom of the tank

tank demenisons 6 foot long 20 inches deep 24 inches wide

starting from left to right

100 250 430 430 350 450 450 440 340 360 276 105

I tested from the front of the aquarium...do these numbers seem okay?

Those are great numbers

Those are really really high for the bottom of the tank, I also notice you are running the lumenbrights really close to the water which is most likely why you're getting such good penetration to the bottom.
