Hi everyone just wanted to share my Experience with a simole solution for par lev in the tank, with my cellphone and an adapter I found online my corals are happy with my light config after reading the le and adjusting the the light settings, I have the top of my tank at 160 par and the low part of the tank around 80 avg. I drop the link for the adapter to the cell phone and we can use as a frag rack when not in use for par measurement. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4327118602/reef-aquarium-par-meter-phone-mount-frag
 
Did you use this with Photone or a different app?

I did Photone and followed the recomenedtation with plain paper for diffuser to avoid false readings and added roughly 5% for the water proof bag that I used for the cellphone.
