Apogee MQ-200 meter loan policy

Our loan term is 5 days from the day of delivery to your door until the day the return tracking number becomes active, so you have a full 5 days to measure PAR readings and adjust your lighting. If you need to keep the reader and wand for more than 5 days, no problem; the same weekly loan fee of $69.99 applies for every 5 days you must keep the meter. *Deposits are fully refundable, provided the meter is in transit during the initial 5 day loan period. The meter and wand must be in good working order. Each additional week of rental will incur an additional fee of $69.99, which will be deducted from the initial deposit. Deposits will be refunded to your original payment method.

Lender will indemnify and hold Aquariums Reefsolution, Inc. harmless from any claim, demand, cause of action, liability, loss, damage and/or injury of any kind arising from any act, omission, negligence or willful misconduct on the part of of the tenant. .

PAR INTENSITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CORAL
When growing a reef in an artificial environment, the PAR requirements of different coral types vary greatly due to the different depths and water conditions in which they naturally existed. Each tank configuration requires a unique lighting type, intensity and duration. We give you an overview of the intensity of the General PAR. You can also get great information by asking a professional aquarist or joining a local reef club.

Low light: fungi, zoantids and soft corals 50-100 PAR

Average lighting: LPS, Clam and some SPS 100-200 PAR

Powerful lightener: Acopora montipora SPS 200-500 PAR

Ultra-powerful lighting: a special type of SPS 600-1000 PAR

The description
Photosynthetic radiation is essential for the growth of photosynthetic organisms such as corals. The wavelength range of 400 to 700 nm is PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) or PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density). Apogee's quantum/PAR sensors are calibrated to measure the number of photons of light in this range.
How it works
PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) is the energy source necessary for photosynthesis, created by photons in the wavelengths of 400 to 700 nm. The energy source, PAR, is expressed in units of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) µmol m-2 s-1. PAR can be measured from both sunlight and electric light sources to ensure corals are receiving the appropriate light or photons for optimal health. The PAR requirements of corals vary greatly due to the different depths and water conditions in which they naturally exist.
Ready for underwater use
All models of Apogee underwater quantum meters and sensors (MQ-210, MQ-510, SQ-520) have the immersion effect correction factor pre-programmed into the sensor firmware or software allowing the user to perform excellent underwater measurements right out of the box. The sensors feature a waterproof sensor head that is potted solid for complete waterproofing and to ensure there are no hollow cavities for water to enter and cause measurement errors.
Product Description
The MQ-210 quantum meter is designed for underwater PAR measurements and already applies the sensor's immersion effect correction factor to the meter readings via firmware. The meter consists of a waterproof quantum sensor connected via a waterproof cable to a portable meter. The waterproof sensor integrates a blue-tinted silicon photodiode and custom optical filters with a rugged anodized aluminum body with acrylic diffuser. The underwater quantum sensor is typically used in saltwater aquariums where corals are grown. Note: The handheld meter is not waterproof, only the sensor and cable are waterproof. The meter has a sample and log mode and will record an integrated daily total in mol m-2 d-1. Sample mode records up to 99 manual measurements. Log mode will turn the device on/off to take a measurement every 30 seconds. Every 30 minutes, the meter will average the sixty 30-second measurements and store the average value in memory. The meter can store up to 99 averages, once full it will start overwriting the oldest measurement with new ones. An integrated daily total will be recorded from the 48 measurements averaged (making a 24 hour period). Sample and log measurements can be viewed on the LCD screen or by downloading the data to a computer, however, the integrated daily total can only be viewed by downloading the data to a computer. Downloading data to a computer requires the AC-100 communications cable (a standard USB cable will not work) and ApogeeAMS software.
