Par results

[sfin52]

Special shout out to @Mike T IL, for letting me barrow his par meter, and to Stefan my 15yr old for taking notes and reading numbers. Made it fun and easy

Im doing some par results now off my 3 AI Hydra 26's. I broke my 90 Gallon into a few spots. I did 5 Spots on the X axis, 3 Spots on the Y axis, then did heights of 0(right below the surface), 6, 12, 18 (sand bed). I'll get you my results in a few.

But i'm seeing 60 - 200+ par on the sand bed in certain areas.

They are 12inches off the water. They are spaced based on brs findings with their review of the hydra 32.
