So our local club has an apogee par meter that a borrowed to test my tank. I have a 155g bowfront with 3 reefbreeder value fixtures. tank is 24 inched deep.
I have the blues set at about 75% and the whites at about 65%

I am getting mid 300's at the top of the tank and 90-100 at the bottom. I have a squamosa on the bottom that does good and various sps throughout the tank.
Should I be concerned that the par is so low on the bottom? I know par is different with leds but not sure whats ideal. I also have a gig anemone on the bottom that also does ok.

i did the test with all powerheads off.

Thanks for any input.
