I don't have a light to trade but have some ideas.

You need to about triple the number of those GU10 bulbs. They are great for penetration, but crap for spread.

Go to homedepot or something an do a dyi t5,t8 or t12 setup that's what I did for my very first saltwater setup and worked fine with my maxi mini anemone.

level your tank!

Thank you for your input it would probably cost about the same to upgrade the led or start over t5 which
would be a better idea? Also if going t5 what is better 2 higher watt bulbs or 4 24 volt bulbs any help is much appreateated

I always preferred more bulbs to mix and match on my t5 unit. 2 whites, 1 yellow, 3 blues gave me great growth and color.
