- cPUR tech measures only coral‐usable light
- 350nm‐1100nm spectral coverage
- Tracks light over time for better coral health
What is the ITC Reefculture PARwise Pro?
The ITC Reefculture PARwise Pro is an advanced aquarium lighting analysis tool designed to help aquarists achieve optimal coral growth by measuring the most useful aspects of light: wavelength, intensity, and duration. Light changes with water depth and clarity, and so do the needs of corals and marine plants. The PARwise Pro takes these variables into account, helping you fine‐tune your lighting setup for maximum effectiveness.
What truly sets the PARwise Pro apart is its introduction of cPUR (Coral Photosynthetically Usable Radiation), a cutting‐edge light measurement standard that goes beyond traditional PAR by only factoring in light corals can use for photosynthesis and color expression.
Key Features:
- cPUR measurement
- Measures light wavelengths beneficial to coral growth
- Extended spectral range
- Covers from 350nm (Near UV‐A) to 1100nm (Infrared)
- Smart light optimisation
- Confidently set your spectrum
- Instantly shows which parts of your spectrum are usable for corals
- Avoid wasting energy
What are the capabilities of the ITC Reefculture PARwise Pro?
The ITC Reefculture PARwise Pro introduces several major upgrades from its predecessor, starting with a broader spectral measurement range. It now detects light from near UV‐A all the way to infrared, capturing data on both the beneficial and wasted parts of the spectrum, such as excess heat.
Another standout feature is the cPUR Light Integral, a modern alternative to DLI (Daily Light Integral), which traditionally used outdated PAR readings. With cPUR Light Integral, aquarists can now measure the most effective coral light exposure over time, ensuring long‐term success in coral health and growth.
In summary, the PARwise Pro doesn't just tell you how much light your tank has, it tells you whether it's the right light for your corals.
