mine had slight rub marks but they cleaned up and the web app seemed really nice but no way am I gonna do these without a par meter.
5x XR15 G6 Pro or 3x ReeFi Uno 2.1 Pro on 5 ft tank?

Good luck! I wish you lived closer. I have a Par Meter I would lend to you!

I got my PAR meter. Looks like I got the one that'll need the 1.17 multiplier
Do y'all think it's ok to submerge the mounting pole? I plan to rinse all of it with RO water after use.

I wouldn’t.
Not necessarily because it is made of metal, because it’ll take time to dissolve - but because it may also contain contaminants, like small metal particles left over from manufacturing, or grease and other oily substances.

I would just clean it first. Take it apart, Hot soapy water and 100% good rinse.I got my PAR meter. Looks like I got the one that'll need the 1.17 multiplier

Are the lenses clear as I can't tell from the photos as it looks solid whiteI got my PAR meter. Looks like I got the one that'll need the 1.17 multiplier

I'm not home anymore but they were basically solid white. I'll snap some better shots when I get back.
Ahh okay yeah solid white need the multiplier.
I am excited to see the schedule you come up with and the par numbers

I learned I'm basically keeping my corals in the shade with my current light setup. This is after applying the 1.17 multiplier running my 4x XR15 pros at 50% & AI Blade Glows at 50% with the following spectrums:
This was my daytime "peak"
A few corals seem to be in good PAR for their species, but I bet I could get some better growth/coloration out of the SPS & torches with increased PAR.
I am going to swap over the Reefis tomorrow and see how they compare. I'll probably have to start those lights at 10%

I decided to just throw them on the main tank tonight and do some minimal adjustments and check PAR.
I found the spectrum that was closest to what I was running with the XR15 pros and then lowered the power to match the PAR I was getting with the XR15s.
I'll do some more adjustments tomorrow after work!

Maybe try the 2 of the new Orphek Natura? Just a little more cost than the XR15
for a coverage of 32”x24” with tons of PAR and proven spectrum?
Edit - didn’t read past first page lol. How you liking the Reefi? They seemed like a great bargain. Orphek undercut the market with these which might take sales away from them.

Did you finish with this shecdule or did you modify it as your times are exactly what I am doingI decided to just throw them on the main tank tonight and do some minimal adjustments and check PAR.
