So at 60% I only registered 104 on the par meter, on the sand bed. I'm going to start ramping them up. I had 300 mid way directly under a pod tho.

IMO hold it there, higher light can morp sesitive LPS (acans chalice). Ruined many pieces arerady. Currently hovering in the 45% with a peak of 65% for 1.5 hrs. Good luck. Light level is way underestimated

Yes PAR readings will not give you an accurate reading with LED's. Will help to an extent but have noticed from experience that a MH looks "brighter" to the eye than the LED's do. However the LED will bleach my coral on the sandbed.
Yes you would need to get 2 modules for your tank to light it properly.

I'm running almost all sps. So how would I accurately know how much light I'm putting on my corals. Very interested, I want to make sure I'm giving my corals ample light. I've only been running LEDs for a little over a month.

I am running two modules. Tank dimensions are 40/26/26 almost all sps.

With the sols I started at 50% max white / blue and after 2 weeks I went to 55% . I don't plan on going past 65% for 3 hours. I've done a lot of research and found that 65% IMO is border line topped out. I grow everything . I do plan on moving the optics around. I am very impressed with the output of just two units. I went up 5% every 2 weeks to be clear.
