Fantastic project
I missed this first time around
Just one comment re the A160 - and this seems to be overlooked by many (though Kessil will tell you should you contact them directly - I spoke with them before purchasing (as they were my first venture into LED)), when you decrease the intensity of the light, you also decrease the area of “light spill”
If you want to use a single A160 on a 60cm x 45cm tank (mine ), run the light at 100% for 4-5 hours per day, then extend photoperiod as plants establish
If planted area or tank is 45cm x 45cm, then 60-70% light intensity should work fine
