Hi everyone! I am setting up a 5 gallon/19 liter CO2 tank and - after doing some research (including on this forum) - want to keep my substrate PAR at about 30-50 umols to keep some semblance of stability in the tank. My question is, are there any plants that will readily turn red under such...
Hello , can anyone suggest me a PAR meter I can buy from eBay ?
I want to measure PAR at substrate level in the tank
Price range ~ 150 Eur/dollars
Thanks
I want to buy a PAR meter because I think it can help me know what I'm doing when it comes to light.
I have an ATI dimmable screen with 4 T5 80W tubes.
I've looked at the Apogee MQ-510 and also looking the Seneye Reef Monitor.

The purpose of this article is to touch upon some of the less discussed aspects of lighting, the spectrum, the differences between fluorescent lamps and LEDs as well as the factors possibly responsible for inducing red and orange coloration of plants. It builds upon my knowledge of...

In my 75 gal set up, I have 3 - 48" LED strip lights with a total of 265 diodes, 112 Watt , and 13416 Lumen.
Using the light calculator in http://www.rotalabutterfly.com/light-calculator.php, I came up with 204 PAR at substrate level, which will put my light in extremely high light regime...
