Ok, do you think that if i just get the 36 LEDs and raise the fixture up, 4 inches like Cal said (maybe higher if spotlightinf still occurs, or would this reduce PAR too much?), this would eliminate the spotlighting and work for keeping SPS closer to the light and LPS and maybe some softies near the bottom of the tank?
