Neptune Systems PMK :: PAR Monitoring Kit

Features and Benefits of the PMK system:
* Performs continuous light-level monitoring for your aquarium
* Measures actual PAR - the light corals and plants use
* Prevents burning out corals
* Includes ASM - the new Advanced Sensors Module
* PAR sensor hides nicely in aquarium inside Real Reef Rock
* Fine tune your lighting to your aquariums's needs


Continuous light-level monitoring for your aquarium

With the PAR Monitoring kit you can monitor and log your aquarium's light
levels 24 hours a day! The perfect tool to fine tune your lighting on your
tank. Now you now can adjust your lights with the confidence of knowing you
will not be giving too much or too little light to your corals and plants.


Measures Actual Real PAR - Corals and Plants use.

The Apex with the PMK measures actual PAR. PAR stands for
photosynthetically Active Radiation. This is the light from 400 to 700
nanometers that organisms are able to use for photosynthesis - this
includes the zooxanthellae algae that lives inside your corals. Other
measurements like LUX are not useful at all as they measure just the light
visible to the human eye.


Prevent Burning Out Corals with the PMK system!

At certain parts of the specturm, the human eye cannot perceive light
intensity changes once the light level exceeds a certain point. Too often
this causes people to adjust their LED lights far past the ideal PAR level
for their corals or plants. This usually results in burning, bleaching
and/or death. With the PMK you can adjust your lights while monitoring
exactly what light is affecting your corals and plants throughout the day.
Also, not all corals are alike. Each type of coral has its own range of
light intensity that makes it happy or not
