Default Got some more new LEDs and an Apogee Par Meter

Sorry it's been awhile. Busy with work and going to have a baby this year.

So far the LED is doing great and been saving some money with Electrical cost. From 8 amps Before with Halides and VHOs down to 1 amp with the LEDs. I'm currently running them at 40% and will increase this week to 50%. I have some photos of my current tank setup but I took these photos with my iphone so it's not the greatest.

So I heard about True Violet LEDs and ordered some. I will add it to my setup this week and see the difference. I also coughed up money to buy an Apogee PAR meter. Don't know how it works yet but I will mess around it with.

I just wanted to ask if anyone notices any benefits with having True Violet in the LED build or should I go and add some red and green also? Is it just for personal viewing preferences?


Thanks and will try to post newer photos this weekend.

Erick
