Par Lumens?

Can someone please explain PAR Lumens on this chart? If my tank is 24" deep what PAR should I be looking for? Thanks

I'd suggest going and reading up on the lighting forums here on Reef Central, there is a HUGE amount of information there.

What do you want to keep in the tank?

There are no hard rules regarding par needs. There are general guidelines used in this hobby, some are better than others.

FOWLR but I also don't want the tank to look so dark so I was curious if I look for a LED unit what will light the sand. Thanks

I though the chart was of the light you are looking at.

You don't need a lot of lighty for a Fish only.

I can't offer any advice on LED's but 2-4 t5's would be more than enough.

Most any LED setup would likely be plenty.
