My LEDs are near 100% (they are at 100%, but due to the various color choices not all LEDs are actually at 100%). I rely on total output. Most people in my opinion blame issues on "too much light" when really they are just giving coral too much too fast.
May be off topic but since you re with ATI. Why won't you convert from powermodule to Stratton? I ask because I have powermodule as well and will consider that option in the future.

Many reasons:
  • I love T5's, I have been selling them for reef aquariums since 2005 and I don't feel LEDs bring more growth only bells and whistles.
  • Effort - I have been a "professional reefer" since 2005, I want simple. I don't even clean my collection cup these days!
  • Money (still not free for me even if it is less. I do have a sample to play with, but its not on a tank its at my desk)
  • Lack of inventory (why use it when I can sell it!)
