Well, because there are more diodes on the higher PAR bulbs.
Matt, these are two diffenent bulbs. PAR 30 & PAR 38. The 30's have 5 diodes while the 38's have 7. Here's the link to the website. The difference...
The tank and light look great. Your bottles are getting just as much attention as your tank! :) haha
From what have read, I would feed in smaller amounts, but 2 or 3 times a day.
Might I suggest looking into marine biology as a career major?
Posted on wrong board. Not sure what job that would be. Something in the aquarium trade working for wholesalers, I would assume. You would need a...

Foolishness. Where do you see these prices? $800? Also, a higher price does not necessarily make a better product.
Geesh, mine are at 10-15. I need to buy a skimmer still. haha. I wouldn't worry about the level you have[2]. Especially if you have no SPS. Soft...
Only time shall tell.
