Light Calculation Chart: Tank Volume Total Installed Lumen

This document contains a light calculation chart with sections for tank volume details, bulb type details, total lumens produced, and an area to calculate illumination levels. It includes formulas to calculate illumination at the water surface, after deducting surface reflection, and at half depth and full depth. An example calculation is provided for an unknown tank that produces a very high level of illumination throughout the water column.
