Welcome aboard!

a few hints, there are many different forums that can all be searched for info, on the right hand side of the blue bar. Dig around, and dont hesitate to post a question on anything there are some people on this board with incredable tallents and are more than willing to help.

I personaly like the DIY section

Good luck with your tank

i searched for par readings and really found nothing. i am going to snoop around some more..

Well, if "par" refers to lighting, I recall a reference to it in Gulf Coast Aquarian's "ODNO" thread. But be forewarned, the thread is massive. Great project though! I don't know much about it, but there really is more talk about it on reef forums, I believe.
