My Orphek compact par numbers.

[WDKegge]

Thought I'd share some par numbers I took today. Tank is 48x30x24, completely SPS dominant tank.

Lights are mounted 16 inches off the water

Two orphek compacts v2
Two orphek or2 blue bars.

channel 80%
100% channel 2 and 3
25% channel 4

I think I hit my goal of following bulk reefs supply's 200-300 par throughout the majority of the area where SPS is. I'm debated bringing the lights down slightly, or in the future adding a 3rd compact as recommended by brs for this size tank. I feel like my numbers are about right where the brs spotlight video had them.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated, cheers!

Nice! How did you get those numbers? With a par meter?

My opinion is that the device is almost accurate. With your settings, it should show more. And if the measurements were carried out with the participation of bars, then the numbers are underestimated
