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.
