I need some serious help deciding which LED fixture to get. I hear the Aqua Illumination is better but some people are telling me it may be too powerful for my tank. I have a 46 gallon bowfront aquarium that is 36"L x 16.25"W x 20"H with a mixed reef (SPS, LPS etc.). I was told I would need at least 2 Aqua Illumination fixtures if I was to go that route and then I was told that I would need to run them at about 35% intensity because they are too powerful. At this point I am extremely confused and need some advice from someone who knows what there talking about.
The mounting for the aqua illumination was also a problem. I was either going to buy the mounting kit but if possible I would rather just sit them on the glass lid of my tank. I do not want to buy these fixtures and realize that I wasted about $1000 because they are too powerful for my tank.
Here are the two fixtures. ADVICE PLEASE!
