Need help with Jebao SOW-4 and SOW-8

[chadfish]

I’m replacing a pair of PP-4s in my 36” long 60 gallon. I have a new pair of SOW-4s and a new pair of SOW-8s.

The SOW-4s are underpowered and the SOW-8s are overpowered and I had to keep them on level 1.

I have a FOWLR now with a nem, but I want coral. What do I do??

BTW the PP-4s were perfect for this tank. I can’t get over the fact that they are bigger and more powerful than the newer SOW-4s.

Turns out, after some simple math.. I have a 42 gallon tank, not 60. Are SOW-8 too big for a 36” long 42 gallon tank?
