Shadowing issue

[Alvin Alejandro]

So I have a 40g cube 24x24x16 I'm currently running AI Hydra 26s 15" from the water line. I've been acclimating my corals to the lights and just recently started moving some around and noticed that my green slimmer was very dull almost white on one side but bright green on the other. I'm wondering if this is due to me not running the intensity high enough or something else. I'm running all blues, uv, purple at %80 and all whites, green and red at 35% with overall intensity on the blues at about %36 and all the whites at %15. Is that not enough?

yea sounds like a shadowing problem.
as far as intensity. Im a lux meter par meter guy. it helps eliminate the guessing.

Yeah I completely understand that I just can't afford one and where I live there isn't an LFS that has one I could borrow
