Real world AI Prime PAR Numbers

Senah · 06/12/2015, 07:43 AM

Was able to borrow the clubs PAR meter last night to do some testing in my 60 cube (24x24x24"). We have a single AI Prime above it, coverage is plenty.

My settings and max values are in the attached photo. Enjoy!

Nice tank Senah! Im looking at 2x units for my 30x30 cube with 18 inches tall. What would you say is the minimum mounting height setting on the bracket?!

How do you think Zoas and mushrooms would do in a 16" deep tank with the prime?

The PAR readings above are pretty accurate from what i observed with mine. I have two primes above a 38G bowfront. Ive have them up to 60% CW and 100% everything else for about 3hrs during middle of day. Ramping up at 6:30am and down at 6:30pm. PAR at birds nest about 10" down gets to 125 or so and seems to be happy. Zoo's on the sand are fine.

Par numbers are not visible anymore? Am I doing something incorrect, or are they just gone?
