I have been using a Ledzeal mirage x200LED light above my coral frag tank. I don't have a PAR meter, but I do have a HOBO logger to log Lux values.
Because I have selected a blue-heavy spectral composition, I was going to use a conversion factor of 30 in my equation PPFD = Lux / conversion...
Par database with tank builds, specially acropora-dominant, under LED lights
Hi folks, I believe this is a REALLY cloudy topic.
Most of @Dana Riddle ’s amazing articles have shown that 250-350 PAR is pretty adequate for most Acropora.
On the other hand we have seen many extreme PAR (800ish)...
