Y'all need to get a lux meter. Stop guessing.
Put the meter on top of the tank an meter. Raise the light and turn up the dimmer to match the old reading. Also you can slowly increase light for acclimation.

And if you take the lux reading and devide by 60 you'll get a pretty close approximation of your par.

Yeah this was really getting to me and I wasn't funding the answer I was looking for, so I rented a par meter from my LFS and boy was I way off. Par was really high, between 700 and 800 right under the water and like 500 to 550ish the around most of my corals which was higher than what I wanted. I wanted to shoot for around 350 in the middle and 250 on the sides and like 150 on the bottom. Now I run these settings for 7 hours with 1 hour ramp up and 1 hour ramp down.
