Hi everyone! Was hoping an AI prime 16HD user could help me test par. I know it's a big ask but I cant find somewhere in montreal to rent a PAR meter. Would be much appreciated! It's a 13" deep tank, nuvo 10 Gallon Current max peak (all i need tested) Blue - 100 Violet - 100 UV - 75 V - 75 Red - 5 Green - 5 White - 15 Looking for par from sandbed to surface Light is 8 inches above surface Thank you!

What Is The Right PAR For Vibrant Coral Coloration and Growth?NEW VIDEO! Reef Aquarium Lighting Guide

Anyone have a par meter that they would let me use in SoCal? Thanks! Trying to find my par readings on a nuvo 10.

Anyone able to provide par of their xho par? Blue xho. Current tank is 12” tall, led would b 3-4” from water surface

I am planning on getting mostly softies, (zoas, mushrooms, xenia, kenya tree, etc..), with a few LPS (hammer, frogspawn, maybe blasto). I have decent par (levels in pic below), and was wondering if they are enough to sustain those corals light-wise. 400 Par @ 2" 108 Par @ 8" 50 Par @ 16" P.S ik blastos are lower light, will keep towards bottom.

so I got my 20gal (standard petco)long tank coming together. Still waiting for it to finish the cycle. I decided for lighting I would go with aqua illumination hydra 26 hd. And I must say I am thoroughly impressed. I have it on the 18" flexible arm. I have the light centered on the tank. I have it at the highest point. I have read about different heights etc and settings but it all become obscured and blurred with so many opninions for different size tanks that I don't own. So my question is what's a recommended height for the tank I have? Also what are some settings for the height? Because it matters for the settings and height .... As for the what what I want to grow.... zoas, GSP, torch, a Duncan and a few leather. Possibly a hammer. And way later in the future after the tank is solid a birds nest. I will have two clown fish in the tank along with a shrimp and 5 turbo snail. Of course cleanup first then spacing out the time of putting them in. I may add another fish in the future but for now 2 clown are fine thanks for any advice Protein skimmer not here yet but it will be soon
