ATI 8x54w T5 par levels at water surface (1 Viewer)

[steveb]

Hey ATI users with above specs. Have you ever measured your par levels at the water surface?

If so I would be interested in knowing how far your fixture is above water surface and what the readings were.

Also would be interested in the bulb combo you were using at the time.

The BRS review of the ATI used an 8x54. They didn't measure at water surface, but here's 6" under
6.5" mounting height, 720par in the center:


8.5" mounting height, 650par in the center


My 6-bulb is getting 450 PAR in the center @ 10" mounting height. (4) Blue+ (2) Coral+

Marine Depot also did some PAR measurements with the 6-bulb with different combos, but I can't find where they mention the mounting height. It looks to be 6-8"
