How does one determine how many light fixtures they need for their tank? I'm looking at lights for my waterbox 100.3. I'm looking at some viparspectra 165w lights but I don't know if I would need one or two. Is there a super secret formula that I haven't found yet to figure out lights? Lol. So this is what I found on the lights.
One light is ideal for 24”x24” coverage
Max Coverage at 8" height: 30”x24”
Core Coverage at 8" height: 24”x24”
And my tank dimensions are
35.4" × 23.6" × 21.7"
So if I'm understanding this correctly one light is ideal for width of tank but not length. But two would overshoot length by 12". This is where I get confused lol Thanks!
