OK, So I have my new PAR meter coming tomorrow and I was wondering where my PAR should be? My tank is a 300 US Gallon 48 x 48 x 30. I want to start keeping LPS/SPS and Softies.
I have 4 Rapid LED Oynx fixtures that are dimmable and they are controlled by my Apex, so I do ramp them up and down during the day.
They are running at 80% for each channel, when on full at the moment and I can control the Blue / White / Red-Green separately on each fixture.
Where should my PAR be at the surface / 10 / 20 / and 30 inches (bottom)? As I find this very confusing.
I am asking this because I have tried some "Easy to keep" LPS and SPS and they have died.
My water has very minimal traces of Nitrate and Phosphate, my water temp is 76.6 - 77 and I have very minimal fish load at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated.
