Just borrowed an Apogee MQ-200 to check our PAR. Thought I'd post it here. Also with our intensities.

We run 2 16HD's on each end, and 2 G5 Blues with XHO Reef brites in the center. This is with water flow on also. Running BRS AB+ modified

Okay par readings with the Apogee 510. Top of rocks is about 14" from the bottom of the light. Top of water is about right in between. XR15 G5 Blue running 100% AB+ without any changes. Now to figure out how to increase par on a tank 19" long. Red Sea Max Nano Peninsula
