hey reefers..I have a 220 with a couple of soft corals..a couple lps and one sps...I have a 320 watt razor over this tank (typical 220) 6ftx24"x30"high. I run this light up to near 100 percent intensity on both channels..and then ramp down..I have it on from about 10am till ramp down 7 pm..blue actinic for another hour or so. While I am not planning this tank to be sps dominant..I would like to have few...I was wondering how much wattage those of you with similar size tanks are running. I do have two chinese box 130 watts a piece that I could add if needed...so how much wattage and what kind of intensity for how many hours are you guys running. I have glass tops ( I know....im working on a partial change over to netting in the near future..with that depth...and glass tops..do you think 320 watts is very insufficient...just for a mix of corals...would love to hear from you all
 
I don't have an answer for you, but have you tried to post this in the lighting specific section?
