I may have made a mistake in going with this light as I dont have a clue on how to set it up or what is the right coverage.
Hey Rob,

I went with two because the original recommendation was 1 unit per 12". George from Reef Geek just spoke at our local club meet and stated that the recommendation is one per 24" as long as you can mount them 12" above the tank. I can only mount my lights 6 inches above, so I really needed 2 fixtures. Seeing as how I'm at 40% max for only 2 hours a day, I'm sure you can get away with 1 fixture.
