    Ok so Here are my finding on my tank.. I might add that Par meter is great and real easy to use. The telescoping wand mount is great for getting to the bottom, but it will hold water after use so make sure you dry it real good. It will rust almost over night in side the telescope. Anyway on with the findings. My readings seem to be close to even in most spots in tank. With in 20 to 30 par..

    I was very please with my results and had very good readings on my Frag tank too.

    Par at Egg Crate where the Frags are at is 100par, but only around 9" wide with Lights on top of Canopy. When I move it closer it bleaches my corals. If I went Higher I think it would be a better spread, but less par. I will be selling this when i build my other DIY LED Lights. It would be perfect for a 30gal frag tank. I am currently going to order a 36LED DIY Kit with two sets of lights with 18 leds or better.
    I will get a current picture with all my frags up tomorrow. Lights out for the night..
    Thanks all for looking
