No algae problems using that much light for that long?
95%
Am I seeing this correct?

Not being a smart butt. Just trying to learn

Dosing?
Reactors?

nope, it's the same size you have...

I have two (60 gallon & 180 gallon) glass tanks, and two rubbermaid (100 gallon and a 50 gallon) containers.

I'm running 4 dt's and the frag. My highest intensity is 70. And that's over my 30" deep 150

So you're running 95% over a 12" deep frag 12" awl. No bleaching

no none... I ran them at 65% for a VERY long time and had my SPS turn brown on me... rampped them up very slowly and I couldn't be happier.
