My PAR numbers

[Mr.Guy83]

Hello reefers today I rented a PAR meter from BRS. My plan for my reefer 170 is a SPS dominated tank. The attached picture shows PAR numbers with light at 90% using a diffuser (XR30 Blue). Highest point to waterline is 10 inches. What are your thoughts on the numbers? Good range or should I bump them down a little?
Thanks

I'd bump them down a bit. Did you measure PAR with all of your pumps and wavemakers going?
Also, expect the numbers to drop a little as your water becomes established and not as clear.

I think ur par is good, you could go a little less and be on the safer side but in time the corals will likely acclimate to higher PAR

Yes,all power heads and pumps were running during measurements
