Want the PAR readings in your tank? This is what you do.

Alabamareef · Mar 1, 2013

I live in the Birmingham/Vestavia area and have recently purchased a Apogee MQ200 PAR meter. I'm very interested in PAR readings under all types of lights, MH, T5, LEDs...... I would like to map several well established tanks and anything in between. Salt water only please. So my offer is to map your tanks PAR. I'm willing to drive most anywhere in the local area, a little gas money would be appreciated. If your interested please send me a PM and we can set up a day and time. Please contact me with any questions, [email protected]

Sweet action! I'm in Hoover and I'm about a month away from having my brand new 125g LED tank up and running (currently on 90g with T5s). I'm definitely interested in getting the PAR readings to help me with coral placement.

I'll be in touch, thanks for the offer!

Great we can map your 90 and then map your new LED setup to help your acclamation.

I have a couple of the taotronic 120 watt led fixtures on my 180. I've held off on getting another just to see how they are. I'm located in Jasper and I'm curious as well. If you're ever out this way let me know.

I will drive most anywhere in Alabama. Just chip in a little gas money and I'd be happy to drive

I have some single end 250 watt Plusrite bulbs that I used for 3 months that I would send you if you had a way to check the par.

Anyone else interested?

If you ever get down to auburn I have 3 tanks all led but different units. I'd love to know what I'm working with par wise. I'd be willing to chip in gas money and a few frags. I know a couple people in Montgomery that would be interested as well.
