First PAR Meter reading. Can you help me to see if it is good?

Hi guys, i have a small 16g tank (60cm wide x 30 x 35cm dept) with a 50 liter sump. Lighting are 1 x noopsyche k7 mini kept at 70% blue, 30% white and 50% violet + 2 Lumini Pixie 30 kept at 60% blue and 30% white, green, red.

I've got a itc parwise as a rental and this are my reading.

Near the montipora digitata uptop and in the other side (always on top) i would like to put some SPS (seriatopora, acropora, monticap).

What you think? Could igrow some sps with those values?

And what about the bottom? The zoa are growing well but they are in a 200+ level. I just leave it as is?

You can grow acros in that 270+ range provided you have perfect water chemistry and keep up with it

Thanks, and what do you think about the bottom zone? Too much light?

Depends on who you ask. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it, but that's because you have a lot of softies that can grow out of hand very quickly if provided the correct amount of light. Higher lighting sems to stunt their growth. If you want to keep them in check, I wouldn't worry about it, but if you want to grow them, I would dial back the lighting just a tad bit.

In the upper third of the tank yes above 250 par.

If i put some gonio and euphyllia in that floor they will do ok? Since that's the goal for the low zone in future.

Need 100 to 150 par for those. Torches little more 200 par.
