Has anyone compared PARwise readings to an Apogee? Especially curious on LEDs and the lower end (400-440nm).

Just got mine in today. It works exactly as advertised. The spectrum analysis in real time is pretty darn useful honestly.
Yup, just did a snap shot with everything 100% on the Reefbreeders. Par was 190. This is with no lenses in the fixture.
Used the wife's laptop so I didn't get a screen shot.

I tested multiple areas under my g5 xr30, 1 inch below surface was 500 par, down to 150 on the sand bed, run at 65% intensity. Id say it works as good if not better than the apogee 510, especially for the price.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
