Cool post. This is neat to see the differences between the available settings. Thanks for sharing.
I run the david saxby on 4x AI Prime HD- with 4x t5. Using the Aquatic Life Hybrid fixture.

I’m getting an average of 200 at the sand and 400 at the top of rocks. (Give or take a bit)

happy reefing!

@Biglex, it appears in the pictures that all of your pumps are off based on the lack of surface water movement. Did you take measurements with all of you pumps running, or were they off?
