DAILY QUESTION: What’s the best way to measure the effectiveness of your reef lighting setup?

I would say a big part of measuring the effectiveness of lighting is coral growth, color, and PE. Although other factors play into that.

DAILY QUESTION: What’s the best way to measure the effectiveness of your reef lighting setup?

I'm going with coral growth and color. Ghl had an interesting and convincing (for me) discussion on par and it's difficulty in capturing relevant data, such as wavelength.
