Lux vs. Par

ubiq · Nov 26, 2020

My recently-aquired Seneye is showing 300 Lux while the PAR reading is zero. I have a 100g 24" x 48" tank with two ReefLed 50's and one ReefLed 160s, and I'm trying to determine if i need to ditch the 50's and get another 160. Why the disparity?

Well if the light is on and the point where the par meter has visible light on it, it's not zero.

Is it calibrateable or able to be reset?

I'm sure it's not actually zero. I'm just trying to figure out why the Seneye isn't registering PAR. The Seneye is not calibratable so far as I can tell. I have an inquiry pending.
