well its been 2 months since i changed the bulbs in my tek light so i did some more tests,
i also tested my new cube, thier are 2x 4bulb 24" tek fixtures so 8 bulbs total same as my reef just 24" vs 48"
when i tested the reef the first time i dropped the legs to the lowest point so it would be the same always now i dont know what the heck happened maybe i had the fixture slid forward or back differently but the numbers seem better this time around, could be the clarity of the water maybe also, the spots tested might be slightly different but its just a reference so its not exact, the light on buth tanks was 4.75" off the water
