Im really glad to see us talking about par rather than things like watts per gallon. You cant go by watts per gallon as explained earlier in this thread.

Adam Blundell has a good article out with his version of how much par is needed to successfully sustain the different corals most of us have in our tanks.

Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine - Lateral Lines: Classification and Terminology For Reef Aquarium Lighting

The Atlanta Reef Club has a quantum meter they pass around to members that want to see what the par readings are in their own tanks. I am including a link to the 3rd page in a great thread with pictures showing par readings in some of the club members tanks. This entire thread is very informative and is a great read with lots of pics all regarding the subject of measuring par with a Quantum meter. Pretty interesting.
