Peak PAR value for a 60 x 45cm/24"x18" aquarium at 50cm/20" from water surface is measured at 151ppfd. PAR value contains light reflection inside the aquarium.
Channel 1 - Natural Daylight 6500K
Channel 2 - Fiji Blue 445nm
Channel 3 - Reef Blue 470nm
Channel 4 - Sea Green 505nm + 450nm
Channel 5 - NUV 420nm + 400nm
Channel 6 - Colour rendition enhancer 6500K, 4000K 660nm mix
Lighting seems to me to be a ‘hornets nest’ - the clear answer, I know, is to have a par meter but that seems a big investment for a minimum amount of use. The above is what my LED provider has given me - can anyone put it in laymen’s terms? What is this telling me that I can use to work out a rough guide?
