TaoTronics Dimmable LED for reef!

[mr_X]

I have PAR readings on the "best bang for your buck" thread.

 

[bigbanker]

I shall check them out.

How long ago did you post them?

 

[mr_X]

Ugh...not sure.

I knew you were my favorite. I shall check them out.

How long ago did you post them?

Here's the link to the thread. It's close to 50 pages and I have no idea what page the PAR ratings are on.

Sorry...it wasn't on that thread...it was on my tank build thread. These readings are on a 31" deep tank. My tank now is 25" deep. So, over 200 on the sand bed.

I'm guessing this is with the light on Full? Also, what height are the lights about the surface? Is this the 265 gallon you got?

 

[mr_X]

I don't remember now. I'll take new readings today.

[Reefpete]

[mr_X]

Yes and yes.

10" above the water and the sand bed PAR was 180-200 depending.

Thanks that helped me out so much ....my tanks a 29 gallon so my pars if my lights are 10 inch above should be around what you have but slightly higher right ?

 

[Reefpete]

I'm running them at 40 %blue and 25 white on my 18inch deep tank most likely 16 because of sand bed

Do you guys use the one with the timer or the other one??

Mines without timer I don't think taotronics make one like our model with them my leds are not on circles like the newer ones

 

[Flaxon-Waxon]

This is what I'm lookin at...

 

[Reefpete]

So mr x if u run my lights at 50 % on a 16 inch deep tank lights 10 inch above my par readings should be half of yours right ? Trying to get my corals the right amount of par

 

[Reefpete]

This is what I'm lookin at...
