I would like to see if all the extra wattage really translates into that much more output...from looking into those results on the happy reefing DE bulbs...I might consider two of those instead of a single 1000...or something along those lines...
Or is there some other reasoning for why those Happy Reefing 400wattDE bulbs scored sooooo high? Some negating factor or something? Their spectral plots seem all over the place as well.

I could do hte 1000W lamps, one of hte reaswons for not doing any so far always has been that the ballasts are 220V. I do not have 220V outlets nearby.
those HR lamps are not really sooo high in output. Infact there are 400W moguls that come close to them at 1/2 the cost.
