Need a PAR reading?
I love BRS but they no longer rent out PAR meters for $70. Now you purchase and return them with an $80 stocking fee. Not bad, and I don't blame them for not wanting to be in the rental business, it seems like it would be a PIA.

Here's another option...

I have zero ties to this company but they could be quite good for reefers? They have a PAR meter app that supposedly only deviated 5-7% from an Apogee SQ-520.

Yes, I met you to give it to you. Did you find any problems with your lights? Losing any more coral?

Oh ok lol so my par was too low but i thinki crank my light up too fast even tho i thought i didn't i lost like 3 pieces and the others are starting to color up but part was definitely too low for alot of the sticks. I was peaking at about 200 now I'm where i have to be and still got room to keep going.

Nice, I would shoot for maybe 10% weekly.
You could break that up and do 5‰ every few days.

I set my light to 330 at my top of my rock
Edit: I think john has his even higher, like 500ish. He can confirm.

I have my green birdsnest as high as 700 par in the middle of my tank way at the top.
