Just curious dose anyone know what PAR levels you get out of a single blue tech reefbrite 12 inches above the water. My corals are very happy under them, curious to see what it's throwing out. Thanks!

Would be hard to say for sure in your tank - water clarity, rock placement, tank size - all of these will impact the PAR your corals are actually getting. You would need to use a meter to measure your specific case.

If you are just curious and looking for a ballpark, there are some smartphone apps that can read LUX via the camera phone (above the water, obviously), which can be roughly converted to a PAR level.
