Par reading question

[johnj]

You may already know but didn't mention it...make sure you have both the individual point level and the schedule level turned up or you won't get the full brightness.

thank you buddy my point of intensity was at 100% but the schedule level was only at 50% that was the problem so thanks for pointing that out

If you want to test full intensity go into Mobius and Live Demonstration. Move all individual sliders to 100% and also the slider on the right to 100% as well

just looked at that mate! i never looked at the booklet in box and just went into lights without doing little reading lol at 100% point of intensity and 90% schedule my par is 150 all over bottom of tank and 11 inch up from bottom its 230 par and 255 in middle where lights cross! So all good know for sps

Good to know, seems then I need to lower my lights and adjust some numbers myself. Feel more relief with the light power.

Yes, I heard on a BRS episode than anything up 90% intensity will make the fans to make more noise than lets say at 70%, but I guess might be similar with other lights.

What are you planning on keeping. Those numbers are ideal for anything except clams, acropora, and almost anemones
