    to keep this as true as possible please dont vote unless you have corals in your tank. also please dont vote if your wanting one but dont have it yet, this poll is based off of the now, not the what if:

    do you own a par meter?

    and, if so, which one?

    mine is apogee QMSW-SW

    I voted no. I don't have one and I've never used one. It's just one toys that just doesn't making it into the priority list

    Cool article, And A brilliant Idea. I always hated the coral description "medium Flow, medium light" What on earth does that actually mean. I also think that Bulbs should be rated by PAR with Ballast pairing. But that's another topic. But why would the average aquarist require a PAR meter even if his coral rating scale is implemented.
    It sounds like it will be a greatly debated topic
