Ap700 enough?

[Simon Reefing]

Hello! I recently installed my marine x 110.4 and I have an ap700 over my 30L IM. I was wondering if that would be enough for the 4ft tank? The main reason is I'm mounting the light from the ceiling and I don't want to have to patch the hole and move them to final spot once I end up buying another one or should I go with the ap700 in the middle and then a smaller light beside it on the left and right? Just keeping lps for now zoas hammers and some softies maybe no true sps at the moment or any time in the future until I buy the alkatronic. THANK YOU!

A local reefer has that exact set up, has a bunch of lps and softies tank has been up for about 2 years. His light peaks at 35% only.

I have the same setup for softies and lps. Ap700 ceiling mounted on a 4ft, 75g. If necessary, I'll add another light to one side or the other for more par. Or add the sps in the center, where par is high.

Awesome thank you guys so much! I'll run the one ap700 and if necessary I will add more!

Do you guys recommend a height the light should be and at what percentage i should run it on?

Specification: 47.2"×19.7"×21.7

12" off the water, 80%, more if lignt demanding corals

Oh okay so you think I will have to run it at 80%? Would it be worth it just to buy a second one

Up to you. Can add later. 80% seems bright, no par meter.
