Thanks for posting this is helpful. Do you have any idea what the par would be at 18 inches if you were running 2 of these?Apogee MQ-510
Fluval Sea Marine & Reef 3.0 LED 48” strip
All channels 100%
Light is 3-4” above water
55g Tank 48” length
Water depth is 18”
Pumps and powerheads running
I have 125 gal tall tank with (3) mars aqua lights with lens removed, 10" above my water and top of rocks are 9" from water surface. Right now my blues are 70% and whites are 30%. Running my lights 8 hrs total with blue 8 hrs and white 6 hrs. I don't have a par meter so I'm looking at your par to get an idea.I finally got the par meter for R2R Supporters and got to take some par measurements of my tank!
Light setup is 2 MarsAqua 165W lights with all lenses removed and modded to be controlled by ReefPi.
My current lighting schedule is 12 hours of 100% blue with 5 hours of 50% white with ramp-ups and ramp-downs.
Average par in the tank is 145 in the blue and 221 in the white & blue.
Picture below is with par values in white for blue and in red for white & blue.
