Im After T5 tanks PAR readings
Hi guys,
I want to compare what par readings you have on your T5 lite tank. I've read all Grims par readings on individual bulbs. I get about 700 PAR just above water level. I have a 7 bulb IC retro. I was looking at ATI powermodules and wandering how much more PAR i would get thanks Aaron |

When you say IceCap retro, do you mean reflectors and ballasts or just reflectors? If you use both, you'll be getting more light than a Powermodul. FWIW, I wish I had a PAR meter to measure my 6 overdriven bulbs.
