Trouble Keeping Clams

[HeyLookItsCaps]

I don't own a par meter and I'm not going to buy one.

As I previously stated, "I have a Radion Gen 3 XR30pro running AB+ at 55% intensity." This light fixture has been thoroughly tested. If you really care what my par numbers are, you can figure it out. The clam was mounted 10" down from the surface.

I can tell you that the par is adequate, because i have had to turn this fixture down until it quit burning my SPS.

There's so many people that are "experts" that can't grow anything larger than a frag. Consistency within acceptable parameters is more important than exact numbers.

This is an older picture, but you get the idea.

Could always rent one, only cost me 35 dollars

Here’s my flex. With a PAR map

While I don't disagree that having data is useful, if you oppose to the idea of ppl giving in to chasing, excuse me providing numbers (any numbers) - just leaving them alone? no need for these bs harassments

there's a whole generation of reefers chasing numbers before they even know how to grow their first corals, and then tell ppl with successful tanks that they're gonna fail because they don't know their numbers, give me a messing break.

I've been reefing since 2011 - I have yet to find a compelling reason to measure my light PAR level. corals growth and coloartion give good enough indication to me.

Data is only knowledge when you really know how to apply it - if you don't, it's just noise and distraction
