I've got it tuned to about 70% and my tank is about 20" x 20" and it covers all four corners. I have a clam on the sandbars as well and it seems happy and brighter than ever

I would show you pics but I can't post it with an I phone. I can text if you like
Do you think it would cover a 24" x 12" footprint aka an IM Fusion 20

For how shallow the fusion 20 is it should be fine. Mine is plenty light for my 34g 20"x20". I've actually dialed it down to about 40-50%. Be strategic when placing coral as the outer areas will receive less light. Works well for me because some of my Lps don't need much light at all. It's a great light for the price. You can't go wrong.

80% is a lot! Started bleaching my sps so I turned it down a bunch and now all my sps are happy and colourful.
