Pure curiosity, does anyone know what @Dana Riddle runs on his tank?

Ah, I saw you were testing them. Didn't realize you were actually running them on your tank. Do you happen to have thoughts on how many Uno's you'd run on a 72x24x24?
I apologize - that chart is for the Duo Extremes on the 120. The Uno is on a 90. I have 12 other lights lined up for evaluation, and I get mixed up sometimes. I think you would need 6 Duos on a 72" tank. Probably 8 Unos. Again, my apologies.
That chart shows spectral qualities only, and doesn't demonstrate intensity. The Duo Extremes are 9" above the water surface, and peak intensity at the sand bed is a PAR value of 320. DLI is about 7.

No need to apologize, I'm appreciative of your feedback! I'm in an absolute toss-up of what luminere solution to go with for this new build and every little tid bit of info certainly helps.

Hi dana, with that setup, you probably have over 400 par on your sps if they are in the middle of your tank ?
