PAR Levels by species

[Shawn_epicurious]

Does anyone have a cool little chart... list... link... something that shows the best PAR levels by species of corals? I am working towards an SPS dominant reef... I’ll end up with a few clams and some LPS down lower. ...might even still have a few softies.

The best I've ever seen was just a basic PAR range for sps, lps, softies and zoas. I thought I kept a copy somewhere, but I can't find it.

Alot of places like wwc list how much light they reccomend for a species when you look it up on their site.
Like this one clearly says medium light and strong flow.
