I have been suggesting PAR meters to a few new reefers and I'm starting to think it should be a top suggestion to all reefers starting out.
Anyone eles think a PAR meter is one of the most crucial parts of setting up a reef tank? I think in general we give our corals way to much light and when something goes wrong we think lights especially when first starting out.
I have been telling new reefers buy your stuff use a par meter make a picture of your PAR then never touch the lights until you switch what corals you want to keep and then again use a PAR meter again.
I think so many problems can be saved with a good par meter reading. From algee because of excess light to dying and bleaching corals from not enough or too much light.
