My in wall build

Love the new frags!
Thank you! I am quite happy with the trade, especially since I no longer needed the pump.

Although since putting them in, I have noticed some loss of color on a few of the frags. Originally I suspected some parameter was off, but everything checked out good with the exception of low Nitrates.

So I found a deal on an ITC Parwise meter and measured the par. Its good info for me since the light pendants are new to me. Well come to find out I nuking them with way too much par. I threw some lines roughly where the measured par was.

The only issue I have is that according some others on the forum, the Parwise readings are off by about 21%. So with an apogee the PAR may read 20% higher. This kind of blows my mind since I thought I was being conservative with my light pendants being only at 60%. I"ve turned them down to 50% and I'll remeasure tomorrow.
