I have 3 ATI Straton's over my Red Sea 625XXL gen 2+

I am looking for a little feedback/critique of my photoperiod for an SPS dominant tank. The light curve is below. I am currently ramping up the intensity with PAR measuring around 250 12 inches from the surface. My goal is 325-375 for the corals closest to the surface.

As you can see I have peak intensity for 2.5 hours but only a small drop off in intensity flanking that and during that time it is ATI's spectrum for SPS (indicated by yellow dots). I am wondering if I should have a bit more drop off from peak or is that reasonable? Overall opinions? Early and late it is mostly all blue (indicated by blue dots)
