I had a LUX meter that served well over the years in monitoring Light bulb output decline.

But now it not working any more and time to replace it. I was wondering if there is a affordable PAR meter option nowadays???

Apogee is all I know of. It's what most people use. $335 at Aquarium Specialty. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by affordable but worth every penny to me. I was always wondering and guessing on light output and coral placement.

Yeah, I think the closest competition to the Apogee is around $700.

Thanks for the info. I may buy one and rent it out to local reefers!
