Noo-Psyche Full Tank Shots. Showing off!

[JoJosReef]

@JoJosReef you use a orange filter for photos?

Yes, the Orphek phone filters. Otherwise it's just super blue and doesn't look like it does to the eye. A bit more purple than it is to the eye, but overall better.

No filters used for my phone but I turn the White Balance up to 7500k to make it look more like what I actually see.

Have you taken any par readings with this schedule?

No. I tried the Photone App but it gave very fluctuating readings. I could rent a par meter but my corals seem happy so I just let it be. From discussions with others about their par under Noopsyche lights, I believe it's about 300+ at the top of the rocks but I've never measured. Photone said 275 at 10" deep directly under the lights and 375 at 1" above the water between the two lights. I couldn't see the screen when it was directly below the light on the lid.

I don't know that I trust this.

Wait, I didn't calibrate it. I'll try checking again later.

I can send you mine if you want to use a parwise. Pirate ship prices aren't too bad. Probably forego shipping the rod though, as that's just really big packaging. My understanding is that the parwise underestimates what you'd get on an Apogee, but my readings at ~300-350 in the hottest parts of the tank make sense and the corals seem to respond well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3 k7 pro on my 65 gallon.

I can rent one at a couple of the different LFS, I've just been too lazy. I think it's $50.

Got some work to do here...

After waiting almost three weeks, I received the first of three needed lights. I like what I see from the difference of the older lights. Just need to get a PAR meter now and dial in the lights a little more.

Just hooked up 3 of the 6 that will be on my 8’ 240 upgrade.

How long is that tank?

How long is that tank?

8’x2’x2’ will have 6 noops offset by 2-4 quanta bars.
