So I did some par testing I had 2 difference apogee usb models
Sq 420 vs the sq520
Sq520 is more money and says it can do led better on the website.

Vs



Pics are in order from one to nine

2

3

8

Overall the sq 520 shows a higher par on all tests but the biggest difference was under the halide not the led as I was expecting.

I had a little gathering of anthias way back when, and asked the LFS to feed them in the tank whilst I was there. They ate up mysis straight away so I knew they were at least eating.

I feed mostly pellets so eventually they got the message and started eating them. They also got a taste for nori and they would pick off chunks that the tank would loosen up.

When they get hungry they'll eat whatever you throw in there. That's what I found anyway.
