So we just set up a new XR15pro w/ diffuser over one of my tanks yesterday. Currently th light is suspended at 13” (my drop downs on my home made suspension kit were a little short) I loaded up the AB+ schedule and set the intensity to a 100% just as a starting point to start failing the light in. When I threw my PAR sensor in the tank I found that I was only hitting approximately 150 PAR at 6 to 10 inches deep directly below the center of the fixture.
Some thing seems seriously wrong here. I normally hit 150 on my sand bed at 24” deep on my main tank and I only have the lights set at 40% on those ones. I am going to try calibrating the fixture and dropping it to 9” this morning but would like to hear if there are any other thoughts out there on this. I am also going to check the programming in ESL to mak sure I didn’t screw something silly up.
