I also have a Taotronics 120w (55x3W) from Ebay. It's the black housing w/ 30 blue:25 white LEDs. I'll try to get some PAR numbers for it later.

Par is the same via their site for the 14 and 20. Just think it's weird the numbers are 1/2 off. Very weird.

What do these par number mean in an actual tank environment? For example, is 100 par at 18 inches good enough to keep a clam on the sandbed? SPS anywhere? Or are those low numbers that would limit stocking choices and locations?

Thanks for the par numbers. I was wondering the par on those dimmable ones.
And like jeffesaurusrex says, what do these par numbers mean? and what can you keep at these depths with the par numbers? |

This is fairly close, but some are a little understated, consider this a minimum for healthy corals. Good job on the numbers Alan, I wonder how far off the Apogee 200 is from the mega one that Sanjay uses, supposedly the one he has reads all of the spectrums more accurately.

Wow, a lot of work! Thank you. I have 2 of the Taotronics over my frag tank and I am testing a plate coral and an sps frag. The SPS seems to be doing good after 12 days, the plate coral frag seems to be losing color. I am thinking too much light. Time will tell.

Is the AquariumLEDs.com unit really 120w? If yes, it means they drive the chips to max wattage?
