Lighting 60x24x12 frag tank?

Lots of posts....not sure of any threads that are dedicated. Check the #lux tag (which I've used quite a bit, but not universally) and/or use the site search for the term.

Honestly, as @saltyfilmfolks has been known to say, just walking around metering light inside and outside for a day or two will open your eyes.

My Beginner’s Lux article might also help.

Well I just purchased the lux meter you recommended on amazon. It seems the phone apps is a waste of time. Thanks for all your help!! It will be nice to compare the intensity to my 8 bulb ati unit as well.

On the t5,s. Devide lux by 40, 45 and 50. The par is in that range.

The apps are definitely not for serious use, but they can work...fun to play with while you wait for your handheld to arrive.

I think it just depends whether the developers have a calibration for the particular light sensor in your smartphone.
