So was browsing around the stickies etc so I apologize if I over looked it, but is there a chart with recomended PAR levels etc, I know its really going to depend on the type of corals I intend to grow, just looking for some kind of outline
 
The closet thing I've heard to a rule of thumb is 200-250 on the sand with a few shady spots for low light corals.
I don't know how trustworthy or universal that is though. It may be a load of crap lol.

There are exceptions and people will have different opinions but most should fall in those ranges.
