Overkill ? Yes. I could have done it with two lights but I got one of them for free. IMO one light will not cover 36 inches. unless you raised it very high or took the 90 degree lens is off.

After a long ordeal of a light coming in DOA . I ended up getting a free MR-120. so I decided to mount all 3 above the 40b. I know it's a little overkill but why not.

does anyone have any ideas on how I could mount my LEDs over my aquarium. I currently have a canopy that I'm willing to do away with. The problem is my tank sits in the corner well away from any wall. I want it to look as if it goes with the aquarium as sleek as possible.I'll have three Chinese...

I would just isolate the rock don't let it touch anything else. sponges are actually great filter feeders and they will absorb nutrients really well, if you have a refugium stick it there.

I set it at 40% actinic and 10% daylight. Thanks for your reply.

the lights are all set up now and these lights are a so much brighter. I'm doing 70% actinic 55% daylight. I kept one of the orbit Marine LEDs just for that dawn to dusk and moon lights. everything looks great. Thanks for the help.

Should I start at a lower intensity? If so how much?

I end up going with 2 MR120 LED Full Spectrum. I'm going to keep using the Currents just for supplemental lighting I really like the fade in fade out for dawn to dusk.they will be here tomorrow.

Ok . Do you have a link?

thinking of getting two reef radiance DM 165-e 's . any input on these?

I'm still reading I'm just doing some research probably going to upgrade my lighting.

I would need two of those for full coverage correct?

What about these ? http://www.aquatraders.com/LED-Aquarium-Lighting-SnakesEyes-Reef-Corals-p/57726.htm

let's assume the water the water is crystal clear. how much does crystal clear water reduce par ratings. is this a question that can be answered ?
