Before I rent the BRS Par meter, it would be good to know what my targets are, right? Mixed reef with the SPS up top, LPS middle to bottom. But I'm a little lost on the spectrum to set for my LEDs, as well as the number of hours to run them, as well as when to run my T5s.
I plan to set it with the spectrum and time profile first, then raise/lower it to get even spread based on the PAR meter, and total intensity last.
Tank: 72" x 30" tall
Light: 3 AI 26 fixtures, + 4 60" T5s (3 Blue+ and 1 Coral+).
Currently 6" above the water.
I would love a starting point for spectrum, and time. I won't just jump to it, but would move the sliders a little each week to the goal spectrum and schedule. However, when i rent the PAR meter, I can set them at the final levels and see where I'm going to be. I would guess my target will be 300 at the top, but dropping to 100 near the bottom, but with even spread across the tank.
