Hey guys, what do you all think of some of these PAR numbers from a seneye meter--
I've got a 22" deep tank (3 ft x 2 ft x 22"). Most SPS are in the center of the tank, a few on the BB glass. The lighting fixture is a 3 foot 8x 39W bulb ATI T5 fixture running 4 blue plus, 2 coral plus, 1 geissman 6500K, 1 actinic. On the front of that fixture I have an OR3 orphek light bar tilted to beam over the center rocks. The fixture is suspending with bulbs 11.5" above the water line.
PAR halfway down the tank on the main rock is reading about 600s, 700s where the OR3 hits.
PAR in the bottom corners of the tank were around 300.
Just wanted to see if these looked reasonable given the light arrangement.
