Hey all, I just ordered a Waterbox infinia frag 175.6 gallon tank, and was wondering if my 3 xr30s on my current 150 gal tank are too strong for the Waterboxes shorter height, not sure if I should downgrade to xr15s or hydras, or even just keep them
 
It's got to be cheaper upfront and overtime just to turn the intensity down than to try to switch lights no?

Plus running them at a lower percentage could extend their useful life.

I have 3 xr 30 plus reef Brite led strips. Plus two kessils for side lighting. Granted this setup is for acros. Those lights will be great just adjust intensity
