SB Reef Light PAR Readings

[WhiskeyCoffee]

Almost a year ago I upgraded my ViparSpectra black box LEDs to the custom SB Reef Light boards. Since then I have seen slow but consistent growth in most of my corals. Anyway a friend of mine loaned me his BioTek Marine BTM3000 PAR sensor and decided I'd share my results. This is my initial run on my 75g with a center brace. The lights are on 2% white and 50% blues. I have removed some lens caps and I will include a picture of the lights so you can see which lens caps I've removed. The lights are about 10" above the water.

Did you have any issue with fitting the SB panel into the viparspectra case I was thinking about doing the same thing any insight you can share is greatly appreciated.
