Anyone know the PAR level for the MAX-E 170 on the "reef spec settings" at different depths for the tank? I'd like to know what it is at the sandbed so I can dial mine back a bit. I'm looking to run it at "reef spec settings" but have around 100 par at the sand bed level. I'm thinking it's much higher than that now.

I had to look everywhere for it but I found it. Just in case anyone is looking for this info years down the line here it is. Skip to 15:51 of the below video.
It looks like there is an average PAR of 88 at any depth, but it is much, much, much higher towards the center and lower towards the outside at any depth, but the effect is more pronounced toward the top of the tank. I took some screen shots and posted below as well. It peaks at about 400 PAR directly under the LED 6" under the water.
