Well I dug out my Seneye and got a LUX reading of 14,995 at waters surface. My Radion is at 43% max for this reading.
Par at about 6" below surface was 356.
Where my T. Maxima on SB Par is 115. This concerns me.

I'm not messing with my lights. I'm educating myself! I'm curious too.
Anyone who does testing on lights use Par, Lux, Lumen, Kelvin and PUR to explain. I want to know what they all mean and how they apply to my corals.
That's what I love to hear personally.

15000 lux sounds about right and the spectrum is clearly good on the Radions. It's actually much less intense than I would have wagered. My guess was 300 par at the top of your tank.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
