My ATI Sunpower 6x80W PAR readings
Just took PAR readings of my ATI Sunpower 6x80 unit and I figured you guys would be interested in seeing the numbers. These readings were taken with the light 5" off the water. The water's a little cloudy at the moment so that may have scewed results a little. I'll take some more tomorrow with more clear water and see what numbers I get. Readings taken with an Apogee MQ-200 PAR Meter. Tank is only 2 months old so no coral yet :-)
Oh something else really interesting.. in the middle of the tank there is a 3/4" glass brace which really doesn't seem to affect the PAR like I thought it would. I actually got higher numbers on the sand bed directly under the brace... wierd! Tank dimensions: 60"x24"x24" Light Combo: 2 ATI Blue+, 2 ATI Aquablue special, 1 Giesemann Midday Sun, 1 ATI Purple+ Last edited by shlap; 02/26/2011 at 09:35 PM. |

What are the dimensions of your tank and what is your bulb combo?

Those ATIs are the business! I wonder how much your par would be affected by only running 4 bulbs?
