I just moved my high-light plants under a 3 fluoescent tube fixture last night. That are about 3-4 inches away from the tubes.

No I think a little redness will indicate you are giving enough light for catts. Of course you can reduce lighting if you see too much redness.
Young growths will often start out red and then they become green.
