AI Blade Grow

I'm sorry, is it an optical illusion or is that sagging in the middle?

Probably is. The longer ones are known to sag just a bit.

Especially if it's sitting on the tank edge. Better bet is to hang them above tank using the clip holders and bars.
I've used quite a few strip style lights in the past. Not for salt water but my planted fw tanks for sure. They all bow to some extent. Support the light at the middle and you are good.

I have 2 over my 50gal Waterbox and on 50% power they’re putting out 250-300 par on the top of my tank. Growing SPS faster than my 3x AI Primes were. This Frag is like 3 months old

Are we comparing apples to oranges? My post was in reference to the 12 INCH IA BLADE CORAL GROW LIGHT...

I highly doubt you are running 2 12 INCH Blades on your 50 gallon tank.

Yep, Doesn't bother me. The mounts are recommended for up to the 37" I think. There is a tiny sag but I didn't want it sitting on the tank as I have a lid and don't want to take the light off to get into the tank. This is on an AIO and the back of tank mount didn't extend out far enough to my liking. It is what it is I guess.
