Looks more than sufficient too me with 350-375 at 14 inches below the surface. My guess its just below 200 or so at the bottom (unless you have a really deep tank) and above 500 at few inches deep. What more could you want.

yes my thoughts as well.. I would like to see if I can imitate a real reef bell curve, and smooth out the dips and transitions in my timers and ramps. The censor is more sensitive than I first thought. My fuge has air pumps and wave makers under my cheato to purge the trapped junk. The micro bubbles reduce par when present . I like the bubbles it looks natural when they come on almost like waves breaking..
