Stix Anyone?
I took some better measured Numbers of the LED's
40LED's Bridgelux all running at 650ma LED's are 2" off center(length wise) and 1.5" off center(width)
* * * * * * * *

Light is suspended approximately 12" from the water surface
@LED(1LED millimeters off) Maxed out the Meter or something would not go higher or lower 2899 or so.
@6" from Fixture - +1000
@12" from fixture - 700ish
-----------------------------------------------
Below water:
+6" - 460
+10" - 400
+14" - 350
+16" - 280
+20" - 230
+26" - 180
The sand bade was about the same did not fluctuate much surprisingly.... this is as center of the fixture as i could be, i may have gone off on some of the picture but i use a measure to get as accurate as i could on the depths.
Pretty impressive at near 38" from the light I am still able to get enough light to grow SPS. This is again at about center soon as i taper off too much the numbers go down.... this is unfortunately due to the 60* optics. I don't know if i should change the optics to 80* or if i should just change the fixture to run all the way across with 5 total C channels with 60* optics. If i do the c channel i feel as if i am going to need more LED's to compensate for what i fear will be par loss. I need to return the PAR meter and unfortunately i don't have my T5 bulbs yet so i wont be able to tell how much of a difference the T5's would have made.
