Thanks for the insight, I didn't even know that was an option. I was under the impression that MH was only adequate for 4 square feet (a 2' by 2' area). This is great feedback.
I disagree. I have a5 foot tank and decided to only use 2 lights. That was a mistake. If you want a fully stocked reef with the ability to place things anywhere in the tank, you need 3 lights. As soon as I figure out some electrical overcrowding issues, I'll be adding a third.
