Everything I've read said these pack an equivalent intensity to a 250w. I guess my question is if you're using 400w's, how will they stack up to replacing those? On a 72" long, 30" deep, 30" tall tank, I guess one could replace 3 halides with 4 of these and run them perpendicular but then 4*825 versus 3*825 becomes a consideration. Which then begs the question to me, and I know maybe this is too early to be wondering about this, but do you know if Ecotech plans on any larger units in the coming months in the domain space of a 400w halide replacement? Or are people already replacing their 400w's with these and finding that it's enough?
