Hi All! I see there are a number of places to rent a par meter, but I don't know which one to rent!

Apogee 200, 210 or 510, the cost varies some, so which one should I rent?

Thanks!!!

In all honesty, any meter will be fine if rented from BRS. We don't need rocket science readings just approximates. What I do is record all lights heights and such and on the glass of the aquarium write in sharpie marker the readings all over the tank with lines. Then take a snapshot of the writing on the glass of the tank and lighter fluid will remove the marker later. Remember, you will need a meter each time you replace lights. Also, you need to take readings at 50% and 100% intensity. My setup for every light I purchase is approximately this. UV 100 (24/7 even with moonlight) Purple 80 Royal Blue 80 Other Blue 30 Cool white 25 Red 10 green 10
