maybe find a fish store to rent? you'll probably use it a couple of times and never touch it again.

I’m no expert when it comes to par or par testers.

but here’s my two cents:

if the one you show has a water proof testing end- then should be ok. But some of these are designed for “dry” operation.

if your local to Los Angeles I’ll let you borrow my seneye?

Yeah I’m not really sure how to use them though and haven’t found much on YouTube I’ll call them up about it

You need one that’s designed to work underwater, can’t tell if the one you posted is or not. If you are buying a seney is pretty foolproof and also has a few other functions you may or may not use. Go for the rental from BRS if you are able, there are plenty of YouTube vids of people par testing their tanks. It’s pretty easy, just read the numbers. Big thing is not shading the sensor with your arm when taking the readings.
