Well, the evil par38 have great par for the money. Plus, mine are 8" from the water surface. I think just by switching to 40 degree lenses you can get a 50% boost or lower the bulbs. Next time I would like to take measurements from different heights. I also wanted add them to my 180g with 3 t5s on at the same time. I think I could get a good mix of color from the t5's and shadow effect from the par bulbs.
