help with the lux app!!

[Ghxst]

Haha, good to know. I used the lux meter last night. Held it 3-4 inches away from the source, bio cube 16 led read 19k, bio 14 pc t5 read 10k, my rsm 130d with stock and added led was 28k, my qt Reef was 40k, Im sky lights are strong! And the sun light was 95k readings.

Not even sure what that means yet but was great to see the differences and now more than ever want a par meter and a good book or guide to learn.

Thanks for your help Salty!!

LOL it means you live far north of the equator and your lawn gets 1759 Par.

Pretty neat stuff..

This is great, thank you! Going to look into that seneye. Did that person you know test it out of water as well or just in aquariums?

Both. Theres a thread here on seyney comparisons. The only anomaly is the lux meter isnt quite right on the seneye. Well at leas I have something else to research. But the Par readings are spot on.
