On a 96 " tank how many LED's units would I need?
I have all LPS and 3 huge clams squamosa's and 3 SPS at the top of the rock work.
That depends on the depth fo your tank and width of your tank, however, lighting requirements also depend on coral and clam placement. If your tank is only 24" wide, I would suggest 8 of the AquaIllumination LED Modules. I have seen the 30" and 36" wide tanks where 2xmodules are required for ample light coverage. Mine is 30" deep and still getting excellent par values at that depth. The tank is SPS dominated, but do have Clam and Carpet Anemone in the sand bed. All are doing fantastic for 1.5 years now.
