We recently visited our trade partners, De Jong Marinelife in The Netherlands, to test the cPUR measurements of our latest innovation: PARwise Pro.
De Jong Marinelife is the largest coral farm and fish nursery in Europe, making it an ideal location to observe the spectrum, intensity, and Daily Light Integral (DLI) they utilize to cultivate high-quality corals.
Their established Acropora systems employ a high cPUR reading, using a wide spectrum with significant intensity (circa 500 near the surface). Corals with lower light demands, such as LPS, are grown under lower intensity with a spectrum peaking at 450nm. All the light used for growing these corals falls well within the actual coral Zooxanthellae absorbance curves, as indicated by the cPUR graph.
It is evident that the team at De Jong has an excellent understanding of the optimal light settings required for coral growth. The PARwise Pro significantly assists the team at De Jong in ensuring their lights are perfectly calibrated for the needs of the corals, enhancing their ability to grow healthy and vibrant corals.
This collaboration showcases the exceptional synergy between innovative technology and expert knowledge, leading to remarkable results in coral cultivation.
