My 150 Gallon Reef PAR Readings

JW3500 · Mar 25, 2020

Attached are the PAR readings for my reef aquarium. I have 2 of the larger Mars aquas, a 36" and a 48" actinic supplemental sbar. Some reading might be a little off but they are close enough for my purposes. What do you think?

All the numbers look good for the mixed reef you have. Just make sure to keep the SPS on the top areas for best results. If it were me I might even add a few rocks to increase the height, you have a tall tank, and place the SPS up there. Not necessary and it will also depend on the corals you decide to place up top as you don't want future issues of them breaching the water as they grow.

Awesome tank BTW!

Thanks for the feedback. I have some more rock to add later if I want. I went away from sps and have been stocking mostly lps and mushrooms.
