This is used to measure the usefulness of the light on aquariums.
Sufficient lighting is vital for growing healthy coral. There are two critical components to adequate lighting for aquariums, intensity and spectra. Zooxanthellae is the algae that lives on the coral and through photosynthesis, provides glucose, glycerol, amino acids and oxygen for the coral. Light (or photons) in the wavelengths of 400 to 700 nanometers is responsible for photosynthesis and is referred to as Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) or Photosynthetic Photon Flux (PPF). This range is also referred to as Quantum.
Phillip, I just set my new 75 and I am using a 180 watts led

Just finished my new LED build and would like to use the par meter. Please put me on the waiting list. I will be at the next meeting.
Sorry posted in error
phil i need it
I'm all set with the PAR meter. NEXT?
If you are willing to meet with Nitr8 to get the par meter you are able to get it. If you are interested let me know, anyone!
Still available. Anyone?
Can I suggest you bring it to this months election meeting
The next meeting is an hour and half away from me. I will not be attending the September meeting. I drove from Lakeland to Sanford to pick it up (3 hours round trip). I don't feel it's fair to ask me to deliver it to the next person. Although, I do drive a company vehicle and travel daily for work all over central Florida. I would not have a problem meeting up with someone who has a flexible schedule and is willing to coordinate with me during the week.
If in oviedo / tuskawilla area you are welcome to drop it off at my house prior to the meeting. Address is on the home page top banner for next meeting. Usually someone is home.
( or can leave under southern window on front porch Planter. It is well sheltered)
i will be at the next meeting if my place is closer and you are in the neighborhood. I can deliver it.
Plus you should see some of my new toys from MACNA!
Please keep me in this loop with info.
Thanks
I will (hope to be, work permitting) be at the frag auction this month and will have it then.
If you are in desperate need of PAR reading :? ....give me a call or text to set up a drop off or pick up.
Chris 352- five eight 6- five 2 zero 8
I'll see you then. If you can't make it I will arrange a pickup. Thanks
Where is the Par Metter, I really need it, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:smiley31:
We have it buddy? I can bring it over tonight, going your way.
Check this out, now I have the par metter!
Who is the Men now? ah ah!
bro lend me that par meter and stop being greedy
You guess need to let me know when this is changing hands so I know and can keep track of it.
Here, pm, email (philip_r5@yahoo.com) or phone/text 386 481 8111.
Thanks,
Philip
Thanks
I'd like to borrow the PAR meter. I'll be at the meetup on the 31st. Please let me know what I need to do, thanks!
Ill Bring it.
I'm in Downtown Orlando. I'd like to wait on my upgraded Gen3 Pro Radion before I complete my testing - my old unit will be @ ecotech tomorrow at 3pm.
PS - Any pointers on how to best use this in the tank? IE - do you use a stick/plastic dowel to measure in the tank?
Does anyone have a link for a PAR reference? I found one the other day - it was a very cool chart that listed corals by PAR requirements. It had a slider with the PAR value, and then on the right hand side, it'd display corals that'd thrive.
Anyone know where I can find a PAR reference? Thanks!
Basically all I did was take a picture of the tank and write the values on the photo. I did this a few times at different intensities. Each value is where I placed the sensor as close to the surface of the aquascape as I could.

I used my feeder syringe :p We did have a holder but someone forgot to return it
Finally tracked down the chart/Par Reference I was thinking of: http://www.aquaticlog.com/radion
I'm kinda interested in using the par meter next time it becomes available. I'm curious now about my different tanks ratings now.
I'll be at the next meeting. no rush…
Ty. see you again soon, well talk about how your tank is settling in..
