I do wonder what the par will be at the bottom of the tank. I guess I would have to pull all those large rocks and get a substrate. I could, however, make the substrate pretty deep and layered. I would prefer to get larger fish for the tank, something that can be seen by the kids. I am less wedded t...

Thanks, very useful.

I am just looking for something simple, not really a controller. Just a digital ph monitor that I put in my tank to keep an eye on the ph levels instead of those terrible test kits. I have a planted tank (w/ C02) and african cichlid tank I want to monitor the ph more closely

Greetings. I am helping a friend update and improve a elementary school fish tank (see attached image). It is pretty massive.
