I recently saw your other video. Glad I did watch this one as well. I own an android phone. I'll ask for a borrowed iPhone. Your method saves a lot of money, and is suitable for low tech aquariums. Keep up the good work!
I have the Nicrew 150w and tried this app with android. Above water it seems like a standard reading but when I go underwater it drops to like 50 par which is not possible. I have lights at 100/100 to test (3 lights on a 240g) soon to be 4. I was using full spectrum. Did you use the White/Blue instead? I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Hi thanks for checking out my video. Yes you can try white blue profile in the app. Did you add the diffuser by sticking a piece of paper on the phone? Make sure that nothing is shadowing your phone while you put it in water. Also cut the pumps and make the water surface still when you put your phone in water I haven’t tried on android phones but works well on iPhones
Hey thanks for your reply. As I have shown in the video, with an iphone and the app , the values are sufficiently close for our use case. There are some scientific papers that shows the comparision with lab grade devices.
Thank you for this! I was literally doing research on weather or not this app works under water! Saves me a ton of money
Glad it helps, i have tried several apps for few months. This iyields the best results
@@recif_conde is it possible to show us how to calibrate it? I know the app asks us to calibrate the par reader
@@jesuscarranza3039 yea sure will try to work on it
you can also buy the sensor and use it with a volt meter

Thanks a lot. Comments like yours motivates me to make more such contents :)
The device of measuring PAR is so expensive .Thanks !

brilliant
that's a great tip. I'll try it later
Great glad if it inspires you .. I am making a new video on this .. please do check back in a few weeks
You can't measure PAR with your phone. You need a special senzor.

Do you have Scientific credintials and lab tests to disprove Recif?
