I am really at a loss. And starting to feel like I am not providing the reef what it needs. I bought a Par meter about a year ago, and either I do not have it set up right or it is just not working. My specs are as follows, 5' 150g reef. 2 radion xr30gen3 pros with a xr 15 gen4pro between them. I also have 4 t5's all blue +. These run at peak hours. I am current running the WWC AB+ modified schedule with peak at 70%power, all blues and uv at 100%, and rwg at 10%. At peak times I am getting at best 250 par. This is with no water movement. Lights are 10" AWL, and top of the reef is about 10" BWL. Does these par values add up to what other may have similar to my set up. I cant believe with the success I am seeing with others only running radions, why I am not achieving the same results. I run a calcium reactor on the tank, and the system stays pretty stable. At least it has for the last 6months. I also run the reef anabolics trace elements system, and an algae scrubber
