I treat the store's 180 gal reef as my own personal tank. I decided to break out my PAR meter and take some readings. See attached photos. :)

Oz 01-08-2009, 6:02 PM Hey Tim, give you lighting specs. ericmcj31 01-08-2009, 6:28 PM nice, tim- Derek_S 01-08-2009, 6:44 PM Looks pretty good. I am surprised the par isnt higher. THat thing is packed full of lights, but I guess they are pretty high K. coolsurf 01-08-2009, 6:46 PM Beautiful tank Tim. Verrry nice. tim8111 01-08-2009, 7:57 PM Hey Tim, give you lighting specs. 4 400 Watt Magnetic ballasts, LumenMax Elite Reflectors and Helios 20K Bulbs Looks pretty good. I am surprised the par isnt higher. THat thing is packed full of lights, but I guess they are pretty high K. With 20K you can't expect to much, I should also state these numbers are with the pumps running and surface being agitated, if I was to still the surface, the PAR would increase. Thanks, Tim Derek_S 01-08-2009, 8:11 PM oH yeah, and they are pretty high off the water as well, right? Rockdog 01-08-2009, 8:13 PM I am suprised they are not higher. that is 1600 watts... guess they need to be moved down.
