When I used a par meter with my newly installed 6bulb t5's I wasn't even getting 250 below the waterline let alone 450. What am I doing wrong. It's 750 above the waterline.
I actually tuned my radions down so I’m maxing out around 300. I thought 400 was too high.

I have 2 ATI Blue Plus, 2 ATI true Actinic, 1 Coral Plus, 1 Geisemann Azure.

Your PAR meter can't read the Actinics very well or get a true reading on the Blue Plus. I would pull one Actinic out and put another C+ in the mix. The whiter you go the higher your PAR meter is going to read when you get to the sand bed.

There are some NICE pieces going up for sale here. I can't believe how many of the high end pieces are being snatched up too! Several $150++ frags have sold!
We tried to do a really sweet mix this round! Glad you like it

I will just screen shot this and send it to the boss, I think its as acceptable as a doctors note... if not better.
any reasonable boss will understand that you're just trying to save the reefs ;)
