yup, it's a side project.
i found out earlier in this thread that 4 of the 24 bulb LEDS equals 480 lumens.
not sure bout PAR. but since ill now be using the 48 bulb fixtures i think it should work.
Noirsphynx used two 12 bulb fixtures on his..i think 10 gallon, and he used them as moonlights and from pictures they look plenty bright.
I might try this out as an experiment at the shop if colby lets me(buy 2 strips, put them over a few zoanthids or something, or put the corals in a tank and only use the LEDs, and see the reaction)
Who knows, i might have to end up going the super DIY way like people have been on nanoreef. We'll see
