I’m trying to take a guess at my par values over my tank that’s similar dimensions to the ones tested by BRS in the XR15 Blue vs XR30 Blue test. I’ve attached two screen shots from their testing. First, does anyone know for the first tests what intensity and depth they test at for the lighting tests? I’m guessing it is everything ramped to 100% but not sure if these are points at the bottom of the tank, etc.
Second, for the LPS numbers, they list multiple charts at different depths. Is this traditionally the depth from the top of the water level or below the light? While I try to see if any local reefers has a par meter, I am trying to get an idea as to what my par would be at the sand bed and higher up in the rock work. Given the similar dimensions, you should be able to infer this based on the results here if you were to scale up intensity (assuming a linear scale). Can any experts here chime in?
