That doesn't make sense to me at all. Why is PAR intensity at a single point more important? Why isn't coverage and average PAR, or total PAR over a tank? It seems like a really biased way to test things, since MH is designed to be intense at a single point (relatively speaking).
It's also not practical for what we do. We don't want PAR at a single point. We want PAR throughout the aquarium. At least I do.
But back to original idea of T5 PAR and Bulb selection, PLEASE!! I have no desire to see this become a MH vs. T5 debacle.
