PAR at depth (μmol/m²/s)
| Depth | Center | Edge | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6″ | 920 | 350 | |
| 12″ | 600 | 230 | |
| 18″ | 380 | 145 | |

All readings corrected for underwater use. Center = directly under fixture; edge = at the 48″ × 24″ footprint edge. PAR varies by individual fixture setup, mount type, and tank glass — use these as a sizing baseline, then measure with your own meter.

Next steps
- ▸ Correct your PAR meter reading using the PAR underwater calculator — Apogee MQ-500 / MQ-200 in-air sensors under-read by ~25 %.
- ▸ Convert peak PAR to DLI with the DLI calculator — that's the metric corals actually care about.
- ▸ Reference the lighting guide for PAR targets by coral type.
