Hey everyone so iv been using the seneye reef par meter for a little while and i figured id test out the sb reef lights over the 125 gallon reef. I went ahead and tested them at 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and my current light levels. The lights are 12 inches above the tank and the tank is 22 inches tall. Here are the readings i got. The full video will be posted after the pictures. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hi Hex. The seney has a Lux readout on it I belive. Did you note those numbers?
Would you?

I looked at them but focused more on the part output. I don't feel a need with leds.
It's pretty handy and more affordable to most.
An edit. If you take a lux and par reading you can create a lux par conversion for that light similar to what apogee and D riddle list.

I got this seneye reef used for $70 so you can't beat that. I have increased my lighting to 60 white 80 blue. Colors have adjusted well so far.
Sweet score. Oh see the edit please.

Maybe santa will be good to me this year.

Which SB Reef lights do you have over the tank? I'm about to build a 120 and was looking into these.

I have two aquamars with sb pcb board replacement and one basic box. So in the end it's technically three basic boxes.
