to grow coral?
Could be wrong!... but I thought the Watt/gal was not an entirely accurate measurement for LEDs because of the factors (such as the footprint of the tank and also the depth as well as the intensity of the LEDs) that determine the intensity of LEDs used, the number of LEDs and the spacing of the LEDs.
You could take two tanks of the same dimensions and use the same Watt/gal on each but have one with 10 3W LED's and the other with 30 1W LED's and have completely different results (PAR measurements all of the tank and specifically at depth, light coverage around the tank, etc.)
i cannot lie, I am completely lost...
but i was looking at this, and wondering if i could use it
