Hey Luc! The tank will be 70x28x28. The canopy isn’t built yet. It will be a mixed reef, but I want to be sure I have enough light to grow SPS. My wife wants to minimize the canopy height, so we don’t want it any taller then necessary. Can you recommend a Coralcare configuration for this setup? I’d be willing to add light bars if it helped.
And can you explain why that table is innacurate? At a minimum, wouldn’t more LEDs per square inch help with cutting down on disco effect? Seems like it would also help with coverage and shadowing. And wouldn’t higher watts per sq inch increase PAR and penetration? I realize it’s harder for passively cooled lights to compete in those metrics, but that doesn’t mean those metrics aren’t relevant factors in lighting a tank..
