CORAL PAR/LOCATION CHART

[JCSReefing]

Does any one know of a chart out there that list many of the main corals out there that give a breakdown of say par. Location, flow for some of the main corals?

I know vivid aquariums posts those details on their coral product pages... not really helpful, but FWIW.

The difficulty is, some corals that will thrive in 100 par will also thrive in 1000 par. Same can be said for flow.

I am actually putting together a spreadsheet type deal with many popular corals and fill in recommended par and flow and placement as a general overlook using the info off their website. I know not all corals are the same but it's just a good reference

This is kind of a loaded question to be honest. I've personally kept coral that would do great in high light, if there was high flow. Others would do great in low flow, if there was high light, etc, etc, etc. Short answer: there are a plethora of other factors that may or may not come into play vs considering PAR alone.

As others have said, it's a loaded question. Attached is a chart to provide a general idea by species, but nothing specific. Note: I am not the author of this and I wish I knew who was to offer the proper recognition.
