Finally getting around to testing PAR levels on the 275. all of my measurements were taken with a apogee sq-520 with underwater correction turned on. My tank is 36" deep, which poses some lighting challenges
I originally had the 3 Kessil 360WEs on the tank, and was having trouble getting above 130 PAR at the top of the rocks. so I added a set of home brew REEF LEDs that I picked up at a decent price In a attempt to get more light on the green zone. I plan to run a mostly LPS reef, but I eventually hope to place a hardy acro or two in my green zones. (green slimer, and tri-color valida) my question is do I have enough PAR for these guys?
