PAR-Meter PARwise Pro - REEF CULTURE

PARwise PRO ITC Reef Culture: Advanced Light Analysis for Reef Aquariums

PARwise PRO is a measuring device designed for modern reef aquariums. It doesn't just quantify light intensity but analyzes the actual quality of light used by corals for photosynthesis. This approach allows for precise and consistent optimization of lighting settings.

cPUR Technology Dedicated to Corals

PARwise PRO integrates cPUR technology, for Coral Photosynthetically Usable Radiation. This method only identifies the wavelengths actually used by corals, excluding those that do not contribute to their photosynthesis.

Measurements are thus focused on useful light, allowing for more reliable and directly applicable lighting settings for the maintenance and growth of reef corals.

Targeted and Usable Spectral Analysis

Unlike classic PAR meters that measure overall intensity, PARwise PRO compares each light spectrum to the absorption curves of coral photosynthetic pigments. This analysis allows for precise visualization of the components actually used.

The user can thus adjust their light spectrum rationally, without approximation, relying on data directly related to the biological needs of the corals.

Measurement of an Extended Light Spectrum

PARwise PRO covers a wide spectrum ranging from 350 to 1100 nm, including near UV-A and infrared. This range allows evaluation of both beneficial light and wavelengths that primarily generate heat.

This comprehensive reading offers an in-depth understanding of the light composition of reef lighting and helps identify energy losses or unnecessary spectral areas.

cPUR Light Integral

The device introduces the concept of cPUR Light Integral. Unlike the classic DLI, which is based solely on the quantity of light, this indicator considers the actual quality of light over a given period.

This approach allows for fine-tuning of photoperiods based on light that is actually usable by corals, for more precise management of reef lighting.

Optimization Tool for Demanding Reef Aquariums

PARwise PRO allows for reliable lighting adjustments and limits spectral errors that could hinder coral growth. It is aimed at experienced aquarists, breeders, and anyone wishing to precisely control the lighting of their reef aquarium.

Its accuracy and coral biology-centered approach make it a reference tool for analyzing and optimizing lighting in marine aquariums.
