Hi

I have measured the Par level on the surface to about 900 PAR. Is there a way to estimate/calculate PAR level in the water depending on the depth?

IMO - Nope no good one. The water colour, particles, reflections and so on always have impact of the real PAR. You need to measure in your own aquarium at different depths.
