So I wanted to get some of the thoughts on any of the owners of the Neptune PMK. I’ve have mine a month now and I’m pretty have with it. The first week I just moved it around the tank to see with reading I got in what areas. Then the last 4-5weeks is been sitting around mid level. On the left side on a shelf rock. Been fine tuning my leds to get the best par readings.
The last 7 days par reading

Then yesterday’s

What’s your light schedule look like as far as time and intensity? Also what kind of corals are you keeping with those par values? I ask because 150 mid way on tank seems kinda low. I’d shoot for 200-250 you will get better growth rate in corals at slightly higher par values. I personally run my systems at 300-450 par and I have a full mixed reef.

Originally when I put the meter where it’s at it was a 225-250. But the GC ultimate efflo has started to shade the meter a bit. I’m just to lazy to put my hands in the water and move it lol.
So 187g 4 gen2 radions this is the schedule


Then I have a diy rail system this is the schedule for blue/royal blue channels

This is diy white channel

Diy uv channel


I’m running almost 700w of leds above the system.

If you look at canopy9_5 and radion10_5 those are the lighting systems.
This is my lighting system.


If I put the par meter 4” below the surface I’m at about 600par

Edited
So I moved the meter out from under the efflo and par is in the 270s about 7” from bottomof the tank
