I use a mars aqua 300w on my 90 gallon, which is 2 feet tall. I can grow sps on the bottom, so take it as you want
 
Orbits are very low output, Dana, 16 par at 24 inch deep. More like a nightlight than a reef light
Manuf. Data Doesn't state which Apogee BUT in water, 48" model

Well guys thanks for the input, I bit 50,000000 bullets and bought a kessil a360 with a narrow lens, the par just blew me away honestly. Just got one to try some SPS with for now, if I like it I'll buy more
 
Wow, just got it, very impressed. It's lighting half my tank with the orbits doing the other
literally night and day
