AB+ PAR

[John3]

Anyone have a rough idea of the max PAR from a XR15 running the AB+ schedule at 70%?

Thanks,
John

Too many other unknown variables to venture a guess. What size is the tank? What are the dimensions? How high is your xr15 above the water? How many watts is 70%?

Become a supporter and then get in line to borrow the PAR meter. Simple.

It’s on a standard XR15 Mount, over a biocube. I’m not looking for a par map of my tank, just wondering what the highest par someone gets running this setup. It seems the AB+ at 70% is a very common schedule with the radio s.

I just changed my XR15 running AB+ to 70% and get +/- 200 PAR at about 6" depth. The XR30's seem to put out more par at the same intensity.

Well that’s awesome. I already have a par meter but that’s cool r2r has this as an option. I believe a par meter is intstumental for coral health.

Thanks! That’s lower than I thought but exactly what I need to know.

I was surprised too. I'm getting these numbers under XR30 Gen 4 pro's running AB+ at 55% intensity.

I would say 100 bottom 150 middle 225 top. Give or take. That's what mine does at 8" above water.

Watch the BRS video around 2 minutes in. Note, this is for the pro version at 100% all channels. The par reduction for AB+ program will be around 25% to 30%. And then adjust those par numbers to reflect your intensity (which will be proportional).
