Well just finishing up week two and everything's doing great, cleaning glass twice a week as opposed to every second day, and corals are all responding great.
Scooter Blenny sits around more than usual now doing nothing so not sure if he's sun tanning, sick or just not happy about the light.. But otherwise everything else is loving it....

Todd how high is the recommended height for the LED and what was the cost for a 48" fixture would a 36 " light 4 feet thought about doing 2x 48" or 2x 36"

If it was heavily SPS dominated then you would probably be better off with the appropriate fixture for the width, but hard to say.... Kelly at the reef shoppe has them for a great price but the 48" would be around the $1600 mark...

Really Hard to say then as that's a pretty big tank. I don't think you'd come close with one of any type of fixture unless it was a 6 footer.....
But you would probably be better of with two units to cover the width, front to back and depth shouldn't be an issue but if you raised it too high, I think your par values would start to suffer. The 55 degree optics will help with the depth , and because of the arangement the coverage is excellent with no spot light effects. Two 36" ligts may also work but then your also loosing 60 watts per unit which is 25% of the output. So I think I'd be further inclined to look at 2 48's myself. But I would also contact Bongy at Inwatter myself to check his thoughts....
