People with leds probly need to have an idea of par ive always used halides no need to know parDo you ever feel like lighting par ratings are overrated? I'm not talking about a light manufacturer over promising here. I'm talking about us, as hobbyists, putting too much effort and value into the par levels over our beloved corals.
PAR in relation to aquariums is the amount of light that penetrates the water column and is available for corals to use in photosynthesis.
I'm not trying to stir controversy here but I feel like we spend so much effort getting that LED, or whatever light it is, at just the precise "spot" so the par reading is exactly where we want it. I remember back in the day we didn't measure that stuff. We purchased lights and hung them over the tank, and they worked! I had beautiful corals and I never knew what the PAR was at all. If the corals stretched we moved the light a little closer. If they retracted we moved the light a little further away. Or we moved the coral!
I may be off my rocker here today so either somebody put me back on it or agree with me. I'm also not knocking knowing what your PAR levels are as I have tracked mine as well.
Do you think that knowing the lighting PAR over your tank is overrated or not?
Do you know what your PAR levels are?
@ESH PAR levels on his reef
I think that it’s good to have a general idea of what the lighting levels are in any tank. I would definitely not be obsessing over them by any means. Just a good idea to know that you aren’t going to burn a coral at the top or starve one at the bottom.Do you think that knowing the lighting PAR over your tank is overrated or not?
I do have a general idea, about 250 at the tops of rocks, 100-150 in the middle, depending on how close to the center of each light, and between 50-100 on most of the sandbed and bottoms of rocks.Do you know what your PAR levels are?
Thank you for info, I was aware of that but thing that sucks is you have to put down a $500 or $600 deposit that's locked up for I'm assuming the week of rental then the shipping time both ways so call it two weeks. I'm gonna buy a Seneye monitor well I want to anyway $199 that I can swing.You can rent one at Bulk Reef Supply for like $60 I think it is, for a week.
