I have a 24x 15x 13. I can't for the life of me find info on par readings for the t247 on a 13 in tank. I know they are very high so I didn't know if anyone has one on a 20 gallon long tank. I like the fiction of current usa but very low par

I think you will be happier with the black boxes turned down. I’ve tried currents in the past and they are awful, they barely keep coral alive, waste of money unless it’s a fowlr.

I actually really like the orbit marine lights on shallow tanks. It depends on what kind of coral you plan to keep, but if you just want some softies, lps and some easier sps, the orbit (or 2) should be just fine.

Here are my readings. There are two lights length ways over the tank about 16" above the waterline.

Both lights are at 100% for these readings.. To give you an idea, I run them over my 22" deep display at 50% blue and 25% white.
