Reef Builders - The Source for Reef Keeping Information

I am going to buy a Light meter. Must be submersiable for saltwater usage.

It will also be for club use, and more than happy to lend it out to MEMBERS only.

Please lets here your picks of what is the best one.

Under $150 dollars please.

I think your gonna have trouble finding a decent one for 150.00 or less. Here's a link, base price for one to suit our needs is $249. we can keep looking. Any brands that you might have in mind?

Don't think that is the best option, we should be looking for a waterproof one correct?

How about a Li-Cor 250A and a marine underwater sensor for par and lumen? Marc is salesperson of the decade at one of the most important dealerships in the world.

I found this don't know if it is any good though.
