currently running a single a360we on a 36x20x20 run at %100 intensity and full blue about 6 inches from water surface . my Nems seem to love the light compared to when I had t5's running . My lps are doing great with decent growth much deeper colors and I have 4 sps under it , a birds of paradise , a green confussa , a potato chip coral and a red digitata and they are all doing fine . Have not bleached anything with the light running at %100 intensity .

That's crazy... did you have to taper up the intensity?

So far I'm up to three hours at 100% and 10k with no issues from the acro's but the chalices are going to need to be pushed further away from the center of the light. Think they may like the lower par since they are showing a little lightening. The cyphastrea may also need to be pushed further away on the frag rack too. The monti's are also enjoying the full power/spectrum. I think these lights are a lot more powerful than most people think. There are lots of forums chastising their ability to grow acro's/monti's. Yes, they may not be the best with super deep tanks but for shallow (frag tanks) I'm already seeing pretty good growth.
