PAR meter levels ???

[Coralqueendom]

Just got my hands on a PAR meter and I’m wondering what people in here keep their par at towards the top middle and bottom of their tanks. Never used one before looking for any advice

Really depends on corals, placement and aquascape. What corals are you planning on adding?

Like Fred says, really matters on what corals you intend on keeping and aquascape.

Here's mine for LPS and Softies for reference: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/got-par-meter-looking-for-guidance.708580/

I have a mixed reef with sps at the top and lps on the bottom with many many euphyllia

I have a mixed reef. The highest point of the rock work 6” below the surface around 280 to 310, mid 220, sand directly under the four AI leds 90 to 120, corners and edges 70 to 80.

Nice tank. I would use the previous two suggestions. I would shoot for around 300 for your SPS and around 200 for lps. These are just references many corals do better in different ranges.
