I made one for my lumentek pro 240. It will be very different from another type or brand.

I usually google image search for them. I have good luck with it.
And pickup man is correct. The will be very very very different fwiw.
The color of your rock changes par too. And back wall.

These PAR reading were taken with all powerheads/return pump off with Apogee mq-200 meter. Lights 8" above water.
[Blue/white @100%][under waterline 1100][5"845][10"565][15"370][20"195][25"140][Blue/white@50/50][under waterline 480[5"330][10"240][15"145][20"90][25"35][Blue/white@60/40][under waterline 465][5"290][10"220][15"155][20"100][25"62]

Found this info online for the galaxy hydro 165w black boxes hope it helps someone else in the future :)

Hello , I'm borrowing my local club's (Jax Reef.org) light meter tomorrow. I understand a general setting is around 100 at the bottom,around 400 at the top. Is this about right? I haven't used a light meter before so this is all new to me. Thanks for any OP's
PS. hope the plug is ok with You guys. We have about 30 members. LOL
