How to understand and create PAR heat map

[new-judge]

Hi everyone, I’ve recently bought two Red Sea 90 lights for my tank. I have 326l aqua one tank with dimensions: 120cm (length) x 55cm (depth) x 53cm (height).
My question is how to create and understand PAR parameters. I have 45% blue and 10% settings. Lights are mounted at 21cm from the lid per book recommendation. Can someone walk me through it? Give any tips, for now I have zoans and anemone in the tank and I want to know good spots to place them.

Thank you!

Do you have a PAR meter or know of anyone who may let you borrow one?

No I don’t but I guess that’s the next thing on my bucket list to get!

Ryan from Serious Reefs just did a series setting lights with watts per gallon. Also, you could go to your LFS or club and see if they have a par meter to rent.
