how would you rate the coverage on a tank the size of yours?......Ive been considering them but Im not sure three would be enough on a 84"x30" tank....big difference between 3 and 6 units...

Still using our rear metal halide, only the front one was replaced I highly doubt 3 would work for your 84", they are powerful but not that strong.

I am rather excited to see these new lights. I'm very, very, very strongly considering lighting my entire tank with them.

ETA: also, are you at the UofC? I'm here right now reading your thread instead of reading this massive volume on Ecological planning in an urban context. #fail for school.

So far couldn't be happier with them, the design is amazing and the versitility is unreal! The program is a little hard to get used too but all in all they are great pieces of equipment.

Who wants to read THE MERCK MANUAL or THE BURGESS MANUAL when you can read my reef manual . No though @ MRU.
