Light par

[Palluk33]

Just rented the par meter from BRS
I’m running 2x hydra 26HD with T5 fixture
10 inches from water line, 4 bulbs 2x blue+
2x coralplus
And this is my outcome what do you think

Same setup I run.. but I have 3 Hydra 26s with t5's... What percentage or schedule are you running? Id turn them down about 25% and redo the test with the par meter. Seem a bit high imo

I'd turn them all down 25% and retest with the par meter.. the white especially pushes the par UP.. What kinda tank is this aimed for? i shoot for 100 to 120 par on bottom of the tank and more like 300 to 350 for high light corals toward the upper range

Dig the aquascape, i started out with same bulbs and later switched to 2 actinic, same overall color hut softer white. What is overall intensity? Or is it a function of each light or percentage of max watts
