    Now this thing rocks! I measured 468 PAR @ 24" and it's only 5mW! Maybe a little red for my liking though ;D

    The good thing though, is if it kills the corals, my dogs like to chase it around the floor. So, it will still get some use and hey it was only a few bucks ;D

    Alright! Do you think I could get away with 2 on a 48 x 24 x 24 120g? Or do you think I should go with 3? :smartass:

    2 is an overkill for that application,, i would say only one is fair, but i wouldn't keep it at less than 24'' high for SPS/clams/nems,, 36'' high for LPS and softies otherwise will bleach them! :p

    Watched Funny Home Videos one day and someone was torturing grandma with one. They would point it at her leg and she thought something was crawling on her and kept swatting at it trying to get it off.
