Definitely aimming to 2 out the door soon.
My improvised attempts at testing par on various lights picutures below. For the 40gallon tank i will swap for my main tank.
Tested one of the knock off radion xr30 blues, 2 kessils 360we, 1 kessil 360x.
In a attempt to find a option that produces higher than 260 par (the current max with current biocube32 light modifications).
The xr30- maxed at about 260-250 roughly same as I currently have.
The 2 360we's didn't maxed at 250 with 100 precent intensity.
The 360x only got to 220 par.
At this point I’m even willing to use 2 of the 4 the 360 xs i had planed to use on main tank if it can produce par over 400.
My main tank I’m now planning sps dominant tank. 210gallon will be the mixed reef.
I found a article:
It's interesting if I can get similar results with two kessils. Either the 360x or (360we by taping the reflector to them mentioned on post #15.)
Ordered two of these 55 degree reflectors today.
There are also 35degree reflectors if the 55 ones don't give enough par, however I think they should. With 2 360s on a 24 inch long, by 21.5 wide, and around inch deep. Would need to measure again to be certain but thats the rough measurements I recall from memory.
Hopefully it works. And I can figure out a way to mount them without using my butchers kitchen twine lol
So far the leak test has ran perfect since I filled it up.
