I’m thinking about getting a Seneye primarily for the par meter and only using the slides when I need a QT tank. Does the PAR meter work on its own without a slide? Thanks!

The BRS comparison with Licor, Apogee and Seneye par meters
Thanks for this! For my LPS/softie tank, the Seneye looks like the best one for me. The fact that it’s less accurate at the corners of the tank is no biggie.
I recently built DIY apogee par meter for about the cost of seneye and t works perfect with formula that converts readings on multimeter to PAR. I've used both seneye and apogee and apogee is IMO easier to use. I commend you on just going after PAR readings, you would not believe the amount of folks that have no idea what PAR is in the their tanks. Link below to DIY.

Looks like the readings are way off in comparison to Apogee meters (which are generally considered accurate).
Disagree. As @Fin already provided the BRS video compared it to others and, well, it performed very well.
Here is the deal. For 200 bucks and some change you get:
1. Par meter
2. Out of water alert notification - doesn't require slide(s)
3. Ammonia meter should you QT, isolate, or do anything similar with new animals that you track Ammonia
Honestly it pays for itself with items 1 and 2 alone. The rest is just gravy.
Someone on the thread had already explained why the BRS results are not valid anymore. There is a software compensation feature that is now not available. So looks like it doesnt work as well for PAR.
Wanted to see if anyone has anymore insight into this? Has anyone done a side-by-side between the different versions of the software? What is Seneye's position on the change?Someone on the thread had already explained why the BRS results are not valid anymore. There is a software compensation feature that is now not available.

Yes I would hold onto it.Wanted to see if anyone has anymore insight into this? Has anyone done a side-by-side between the different versions of the software? What is Seneye's position on the change?
I'm running an older version of the software. I'm guessing I should hold onto it.
I got the same readings on both versions that I have. I have two computers I used, each with a different version.Yes I would hold onto it.
What would be super helpful is if you pick a random spot in the Tank and Post the PAR reading with compensation on and off. That would give us a good idea of how much compensation is happening.
Thanks.
