How do you calibrate photone?

You have to have a known par reading. Mine is 320 centered under the 140 watts and 276 centered under the 90 or 511 an inch below the 90 watt. In the settings there's a Calibration button.

Thinking about just buying a par meter soon but that would help in the mean time. Picked up a sump today to get the new tank ball rolling!

"Buy" the par meters from BRS, then return it when you're done for $100 restocking fee. That's what most people do. I have several LFS nearby that rent the Apogee for $50 for 3 weeks which I'm considering if I start adding SPS. I just don't trust the Photone app since with the bag on the PAR numbers are way skewed even after calibration. I tried my kayak cell phone bag and a regular double zipper bag and even between the two it was different after calibration.

Too many... 16 I believe. A couple of Milles, 9 or 10 Gonis, 3 mushrooms, and a Zoa. I think.

Nice! It takes a minute to start filling up the 125. When I transferred my jbj 28 to mine I was like......that's it?...looked barren. Cool times that it's happening for ya...long road!
