I did the same thing and quickly got frustrated until I figured out the light composer does it all for you, that's why I mentioned it earlier. Without it you'd spend a lifetime setting up all the...

Why not run the UV channel at 100%, at 5% you might as well just turn them off. There is only 2W per foot of UV so you'll want it set as high as possible. Other than that slowly increase your outputs...

You could always make a frame that sits on the tank that can hold the more modular LED pendants like AI, Ecotech & GHL.

I doubt the reflectors are any good and you'll want new bulbs, also you'll likely get nailed on UPS brokerage fees (~$50). Have you priced out TEKs lately? Should be cheaper due to being discontinued.
