Par measurements redsea 50s

[South Carolina reef]

Would anyone happen to have actual PAR measurements for the redsea 50s? I can't locate a place to rent a meter and don't want to spend big bucks to purchase one. I would like to assess my current readings before I purchase an additional supplemental strip. Thanks in advance

i dont know the par numbers but i have seen people needing to supplement even the higher par reefled 90. Given that info I would say to add at least 2 led bars for supplementation. Either quanta, or orphek if you wanted ones that are more tested and widely used, ai blade glow if you wanted to try a newer led strip. If on a budget i would then choose the aliexpress led bars at 470nm. The aliexpress ones are really good for color pop but not really the specific nm peak we want (usually 450nm is the peak we look for) and dont have a warranty to my knowledge.
Hope this helps a little even without the par numbers

It does. I was leaning towards the new AI as it offers the spectrum I'm looking for. Somewhere 410 470 would supplement royal blue of the 50s
