I've made my first PAR measurements throughout my aquarium using my newly acquired Seneye sensor! I'm using a Current Orbit Marine IC LED light positioned ~7.5" above the water. The light is set at 100% blue, 75% white, 0% red, and 0% green. There were a couple inconsistent readings (probably from not holding the sensor perfectly horizontal to the light source or from shadowing caused by my hand while holder the sensor).

What do y'all think of my readings? Any feedback is greatly appreciated...

Seems kind of low, but it looks like youve got some growth. Iirc 250-350 is ideal.
