    I set it so it reads 0 par in total darkness and now reads 527 par with radion xr15pro gen 3 at 100% with meter six inches under light dry,not under water.does that seem right,still seems low for par.

    This isn't a customer service forum. We are users helping users on a volunteer basis. If you have a customer service need for repair or problems with a product then follow the link above and contact Neptune Systems Support via email.

    BTW, it sounds pretty close. If it's off a little the corals aren't gonna know. Use it to monitor trends and as a general guide, not to make changes in your tank based on a PAR difference of 10 or 20..etc.

    You're going to have weirdness between your par meter and reading LED lights.
