!!! Welcome to R2R !!! I have the 300W Viparspectra that is working just fine on my 40g breeder. Don't know if you can this light over there. I got it from Amazon for $219.00

Do you happen to have any par readings on your ViparSpectra? What settings do you have?

Two kessil A360we ;) from personal experience you will love them :) either that or a single AP700. I've had both ;)
Didnt have any shadowing issues
Not to revive a dead post but how high did you have them mounted and what spacing between them?

8 inches from the waters surface to the lense of the light. They were evenly spaced based off the 36" width of the tank so centered at 12" from the edge
