Hey, I'm setting up my new tank and just did PAR measurements. Tank is 90cmx55cmx60cm. Does that look reasonable and is it a problem that the intensity is front-biased? I'm running 2x MaxSpect MJ-L290.

This is with everything on and peak light intensity. I run it 9AM to 9PM. 2h ramp up and 2h ramp down. My lights are running 35% only tho. That's why I wanted to measure it.
