Par Meter? Sarnia Area?

[Tim A]

Anyone in the Sarnia area have a par meter that they will lend out or rent out? I am using Gen 2 radions, and for the life of me can't figure out what settings to use, all research done recently are for the Gen 4 and 5's etc... I can't really afford to upgrade the lights and if these are sufficient, i shouldn't have to.

Let me know

Thanks

They are sufficient. I run my gen 4s at 35% and bleach sps. A g2 at 60% is a lot of light

How far off the water are your lights mounted? I run my G3s at 89% at 14" off the water. I use the AB+ template from Ecotech with the whites turned down a little bit. I would love to test with a PAR meter as well because it is difficult to tell sometimes.

9” at 35%

Mine are 8" off the surface of the water.

I know Ian has one he rents out if your in the London area or want to come to the London area. He requires a deposit and it is returned when the par meter comes back.

Do you know how much he rents it for?

I do not know. I don't think its much though. It definitely helps though. I've used it several times on my different tanks and was always surprised how far off I was by just setting it up by eye
