Critique my lighting profile

How many watts are you using to get those numbers?

116W on each of the 2 Uno v2prp.

Wow amazing what the different lenses can accomplish. With the 120 I get a nice blanket of light for my 28"x28" tank footprint not as intense par wise, and I need to use more watts to get higher par numbers. For my mainly lps tank its good. I put a couple tester sps in and already notice I will need a second light source to get coverage for where they shade themselves. I knew that though and didnt intend on sps when setting up the tank. For lps the one light would be fine. For my 180 I wanted a mixed reef again. I was hoping that 3 reefis with 120 lenses would be good, I figured it wouldnt in the long run but as I see now that run isnt as long as I thought.

I figured I would post my settings to kind of show the difference in the 90 and 120 lenses. I dont have the cool par graph that @monfilsi had put up though. I get about 220 at about 12" down for most of the tank, near the glass its more like 190. Sand bed is around 110-120 most of the tank and 90-100 near the glass. Tank is 28"x28"x24" inside dimensions. About 5-6" below the surface its around 550 but drops off pretty quick from there.
