T5s... checking PAR for clams.

[rmanecke]

Hi there. I just upgraded my hood to run 6 x T5s, IC ballasts and individual reflectors over my 20 by 20 by 36 inch tank.

I want to do some light measurements to check for adequate PAR for some crocea clams.

Any advice on a certain light meter? What parameters to measure? What numbers to look for?

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the post! I have read that t5 thread in parts 10 times and did not find that!
