Thanks! I have no clue what the zoas are. There are so many different ones. I'm just going to get like five more frags with all kinds of colors and let them go.
So this is what I got from the light manufacturer:
measured at center point
1ft 444 par
2ft 196 par
3ft 102 par
The bottom of My fixture is 5" above the top of the tank so that's 7" into the tank is above 400 and probably another 2" or so is at 400.
So can I think of corals light req's in terms of par?
Not with LEDs. PAR meters do not get an accurate reading with them. I noticed that a lot less PAR can be sufficient. I think it might be because they penetrate so well. Not sure though.So this is what I got from the light manufacturer:
