So the tests are outside the water. I have a 10 gal with chihiros RGB whats the par on a 10 gal at level 4 dim compare to level 7?Cheers for the info, I was looking at the Chihiros RGB but was not convinced it was high light, I am new to PAR readings, how does this compare to the A-series or A-series Plus? I can only see 120cm A-Series figures in one of your earlier posts.
so a 10 gal tank at level 7 provides 130 par at substrate?Question for the Chihiros...
Can we assume that the PAR readings for the A1201 is comparable to the A451?
I just received the A451 Plus and trying to gauge the PAR levels with the dimmer settings since I don't have a PAR meter. I'm guessing the below at 30cm from the surface of the water, are these reasonable:
Setting #4 = 70
Setting #5 = 90
Setting # 6 = 103
Setting # 7 = 130
i got a dimming but its regular RGB chihirosThose PAR for the Chihiros Vivid is dangerously high. You'd really want to dim that monster!! Curious how the dimming affects PAR and what's the lowest level of light attainable.....
Any suggestions please for Led units for bigger planted CO2 tanks. 1.8M ? Our x6 tube T5 (80W) ATI unit is prohibitively expensive to run these days ...
