    get 2 off them with the default, you'll be fine. The advantage of 2 is that you can create different lighting zones on each side of the tank, that way you can have many different areas of light intensity for different things. Have a high light area for half your tank and a mid/low area for the other half;) IMO

    Hey, if you have a youtube account, could you make a review video on your lights? I really want to see how good these are and how loud the fans are...I hope they are silent.

    I never hear my fan unless I stick my ear on the light unit. I'm growing monti and birdsnest in my tank with it at roughly 75% output.
