PAR METER reading questions

[envy]

What in your opinion are considered acceptable PAR reading on coral under LED's?
SPS should range between ?
LPS should range between ?
softies should range between ?

I did readings today but I'm going to put them in a photo/photos showing reading. I did them at 35% and 50%.

If you're are getting 100+ on sand bed you should be good throughout imo

In my research, ideal par for sps is 3-400 on the low end and no higher then 700 on the high end for ideal coloration. I'm still trying to find the article that had it...

"Regarding light intensity this work also states that chromo proteins are not formed under illumination levels below 100 μmol·photons/m2·s, and their number grows almost linearly along with the increase of light intensity up to about 700 μmol·photons/m2·s."

Thank you for the info.

PAR reading were done at 50% Intensity. This is using Steve's LED's 14 LED Biocube kit(42w) 9- Royal Blue Luxeon ES 3 watt LEDs5- 5,000K Neutral White Luxeon ES 3 watt LEDs.

I also have reading for 35% intensity. I might show those reading at a later time since I have double the amount of readings for 35%. I did a lot more reading in the 35% until the significant other got tired of doing reading. She also suggested to try and do reading again in 6 months or 1yr from now to see if they drop.

Nice.
