LC Scott Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ok so my 20l with two t5 bulbs reads top160 µmol m middle 80 µmol m sandbed 60. µmol m So my next question Do I need to do any math to convert these numbers into par ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Instantaneous photosynthetic photon flux (μmol m-2 s-1) is the most common output used to measure P.A.R. in reef aquaria. μmol m-2 s-1 is a measure of the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Scott Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for the use of the par meter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 You are welcome. I was nice meeting you. So I pm'ed jackaninny. Meter is ready for pickup by friday 28th. I'm probably going to California for a few days and then to Italy for a few weeks. I'll ask another BOD member to take care of the PAR Meter until I return. I mean, the par meter will still be out, just need to be picked up and return from/to another location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably gonna take care of the par meter for a few weeks, because I have to leave the country until end of April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hey guys, I'm not in Portland right now so jackaninny is gonna keep the meter a few more days. We will meet beginning of the week so he will receive all he needs to manage the thing when I will be away. Thanks for understanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
