jedimasterben Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Was out of town yesterday. Once the sun goes down, I'll be getting some pics with the DSLR (if it's still daylight or even dusk, the window gives far too much glare). And if my wife doesn't blow me off (WHOA NOW) then she said she would help me in getting PAR numbers. I really need to make a jig to hold the PAR sensor so I don't ahve to stick my arm in the water the whole time lol. Link to comment

CrazyEyes Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Did you jump up and down like a little kid on Christmas when you finally fired that bad boy up over the tank for the first time? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 All LED at 1A (except B/R at 700mA)All LED at 700mAAll LED at 1A (except B/R at 700mA) with 2x Blue PlusAll LED at 700mA with 2x Blue Plus Link to comment
CrazyEyes Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 405 PAR at the bottom without any optics/reflectors. Good god man. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 And to reiterate, that's at 26" for the LEDs for the sandbed reading in the middle. I think the T5 would be a bit lower since they sit lower, those are at around 22" distance. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Took some pics with just the Blue Plus on. So I found a yuma. I have no clue where it came from, I don't remember buying one anywhere! Satan the (mini mini??) anemone, aka Viking's mother in law Some zoas and palys from kat My friend's red rock flower that he is probably not getting back since I'll never be able to get it out of that rock lol God I love my maxi minis!

jedimasterben Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Woodpeckers are dumb. There is one at my parent's house that pecks at the same spot on a big metal pole for at least 10-20 minutes every single day. You'd think that after a while he'd figure out he's making no progress and give up lol Link to comment
HM3105 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So Ben what is considered a "good par number" to shoot for? I presume it all depends on what you're keeping but just thought I would ask. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 A minimum of 100 on the sandbed, maximum of ~150 on the sandbed for all types of tanks with all types of corals. Link to comment
