It’s about 6 inches from the water levelHow high is the light fixture mounted above the water surface?
Probably about 200-250 on the sand bed and 350-400 near the top. If you get the voltage on the fans dialed in you can probably optimize the output, but for a shallow tank you probably don’t need to bother.Hey all, just wondering from experience.. I have a 12 inch high tank with a 6 bulb fixture. Running 50/50 blue plus, coral plus, how much par you think I’m getting at sand. This will be a heavy sps tank
That’s really nice to know!! I’m going to test it out with some corals. And if stuff starts really bleaching I’ll look into the meeter.We have PAR meters for lending, shoot @Mixed Reefer doug.murray (at) bostonreefers (dot) org an email with a pic of your license and area you live in. @Mixed Reefer is handling the list now.
