But more generally, just asking why most people run lower than 100. a single unit on a small tank is self explanatory, the lamp is clearly too powerful and you can't run less than one. But for 4' tanks, why run the lamp or multiple units at less than full, then buy additional lights to make up for it?

![]() My fixture has 20- 3w lights, a combo of half blue and half white. They run full power all the time, unless I want a more blue look at times. I have acro,s less than a foot from them, near the top of my 20g tank

![]() Two units on a 48" tank. No one unit would have never been enough to cover the 48 inches, even with increased intensity. It created uneven lighting, middle 24"-30" was fine but the ends were too shaded.

![]() Not really. I don't want a large fixture, and we all know tanks get upgraded all the time, so I want to be able to expand on lighting if needed. I also insist that all my devices are controllable via my Apex.
