ideal PAR

[sbreefer]

hey everyone,
what does anyone run PAR at on surface/mid/ bottom?
i have a green slimer growing happily on the sand bed in a 30" tank under 1600W halide /4x80W t5.

Radium 20K on M80 with pair of VHO Super Actinics are 750-900 near the top of my rock work about 6" under the water. At 24" deep, I have 400+ nearly everywhere.

14K Phoenix on M80 is 600 at the top of the rockwork, 250-300 in the bottom middle and 200 on the bottom edges.

I imagine that you are 250-350+ down there with those lights... which is more than enough for a slimer.

For sps min 250 PAR. I like to have 300-350 mid to high in the tank at a min.
