Hey Brad, I am sure on deeper tanks like yours and Rich's running the AI at 100% isn't going to be a problem but to be safe start them off low like 60% and watch how the corals react over a 2 week period, mostlikely they can handle more but I bleached montis and some Lps when I had mine turned up to 70% on a 18" high tank. Most of my sps are higher up in my tank aswell...
Depending on the mounting height of the AI your sps could definitely take the light although led is abit different than metal halides as most users will tell you.... When are you ordering the lights up?

I was just looking at the output models for them, at 24" they will put out a 30x30 area with 160 to 239 PAR running at 100%they are more suted to a 24x24 area which would still be a tiny bit less than your 400's (mind you I haven't seen the new tank.) at a distance of 30" they only put out a 24" area at the 160 to 239 PAR.
so lifting these lights to get away with less wont work. they do look like a nice light though... Steve

Well, I have 3 24x24 areas in the tank, so 3 lights should work. I also have4-6 inches between the glass and the rockwork all the way around the tank, so I'm going to try three and go from there.
