par explanation

I have a PAR question: I am starting to add some coral to my tank. I have an apogee par meter that plugs into my laptop and reads out in umols which I guess is equivalent to par numbers people always refer to? Anyway. I have currently 1 Current USA 95W light above the tank. I have a spare one...

I currently have a Current Orbit Marine Loop Light (36”-48”). I am curious to know under what conditions will the given PAR be achieved. As seen in the image attached, it mentions at a depth of 6” (6” from the light) the PAR will be 120, and so on. Is this when the White, Blue, Red and Green...

CHART 1 CHART 2 BY LOOKING AT THE LIGHT SPEC CHART ABOVE WOULD THIS LIGHT BE GOOD FOR GROWING CORAL AND SHOWING OFF THOSE COLORS? BEFORE REVELING THE LIGHT TYPE AND BRAND IM INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT THE R2R COMMUNITY HAS TO SAY.

If my light gives out 200 par max and my spectrum % are the following : Does this mean it’s not running at 200 par….. By increasing the percentages of red green and white the par will increase or is at 200 par and the percentages are just the colour 25 - red 40 - green 100 - blue 60 - white thanks
