There is no definitive answer to this because the draw on the elements are based on your coral loading more than anything else in the average size tank with larger tanks such as blue tangs the huge water volume also comes into play but once at saturation or rather peak values the dosing amount will stabilize.

Blue tangs tank is a very unique in terms of size so it will be disproportionately higher than average.

No its probably not the cheapest system but its the best, and within reason thats what matters.
