Is Lux a useful tool to ballpark PAR when using set spectrums such as AB+?

Yo bless up Breddas. Big up. When it comes to corals I'm not worried but definitely I wouldn't put livestock in. I can't eat enough Lionfish to save the reefs by myself and people are still skeptical. I think the Atlantic would do well with transplanting some coral species here. Our reefs are in need of some TLC and some replanting and the Pacific needs a break. What better way to coral farm than to do it naturally in a controlled environment as long as it is not detrimental to existing reefs. @vetteguy53081 Which paah yu come from Bredda? I bet @randyBRS didn't know that they had Jamaican fans. Lol. I want to give a huge shout out to @Chaswood79. This man ya adi real deal. Zimi.

Portland has the best variety of corals and fish species in the reefer sense ive heard. You guys have Royal Grammas and things easily found i heard. Need to take a drive soon.

Thanks for the input of your schedule mi bredda. I would still like to see some lux numbers though. Spectrum is one thing we have an idea about but id love to see Lux intensities. Im trying to plug numbers to find averages.

You brought them in wet (coralline rock) from Jamaica? How did you manage that with customs? You need to bring a few frags in man. Id super appreciate it star.

Yes. I just put some rocks in Bags with a little water from the beach and brought it home with me. I had one or two in my carry on and the rest in my checked bag. No one asked a thing coming back into the us from Ja.

I did not try any frags or corals as I think it’s a crime maybe I could be wrong. I’m sure I could have but was not prepared to transport or don’t really know the rules. The rocks I just figured worse case I toss them.

Taking a frag out yes but taking in is doubtful. Especially if they dont see it. lol. Worse case scenario, they toss it. Man it would have been wicked to get a few tough sticks in but we may never know. I wonder whats the minimum size a frag can be to survive? Been trying to get a few of those pretty birdsnest or pocillopora and other digi and cap frags. Its been hell. LOL
