Do you have a Tyree sunset monti and PAR meter?

[Lowsingle]

If so, can you tell me what PAR your sunset monti has.....Mine has lost it's color and I think it is because I have decreased the light in my tank and I was hoping for a sampling of PAR numbers from people here.

thanks,
Darren

my sunset is around 650-700 PAR

 

[mojo]

mine is at about 400 to 500

My mother colony is baking under 600 PAR. A frag in the prop tank is sitting in about 300-350 and has the same color, but better polyp extension. It grows better in my system when it's in lower light.

 

[Mr.Firemouth]

400-500 and sits high in the water column.
This is one of the most sensitive corals I keep. Any changes and it freaks.

 

[Kbra]

What equipment are you guys using to measure these values in the tank? Any links to the hardware?

 

[Reefnjunkie]

I have one at about 600-700, while I have frags at the bottom of the tank which is 350-400 where they are. Mine are Tyree as well

Hnad held PAR Meter, loaned out from the LFS.

Im guessing they are submersible as well...

 

[Mr.Firemouth]

The probes are, here is a picture of the one my club has.....

mine is off to the side of my halides, and i'm sure the par is low. i dont have a par meter for exact #'s though. mine holds its color and looks fantastic to my suprise. my superman on the other hand needs high par to hold its bright base color.

 

[mojo]

newer quantam par meter. using ati sunpower fixture for light.

 

[SDguy]

Mine sits under about 350-450.

 

[Lazys Coral House]

Mine is under 250 - 300

i don't know who's tank this was in before it was in the guy's tank i got it from, but originally, it came from the ocean, like the ones above.
meanwhile, when i got it it was as brown as a turd. i have it under 140nm and as you can see, it's starting to get some color.

 

[aquariumclown]

I'm getting same colors as SDguy's sunset monti, but it's at the lower end of the tank at about 200 par the last I checked. I think loss of color can be due to water quality as much as amount of light, if not more.

 

[scrapz]

my shines anywhere I put in, just set and forget and it will adjust to it's light conditions.

 

[150er]

I have it in sand bed is the color is brighter than the one in high light. Don't know PAR (no PAR meter)
