[returnofsid]

Aha!! Creative idea Rob Didn't think consider hybrids!

Our official answers are: Bellus, Caudovittatus, Lamark/Lamarki, Melanospilos, Personatus, Semicinctus, Semifasciatus, Spinus, Takeuchii, Watanabei

Will post the leader board soon

Of which Watanabei are by far THE BEST! If your opinion differs, kick rocks! lol

Okay, Bellus are pretty darned cool too, I just really miss my pair of Watanabei

No it's not! We still have close to 2 weeks to go! If a couple people miss a couple of days, all the numbers change.

Does that include POTM, since you do not get anything for winning? Even if that is the case, I am doing this for the fun and the knowledge as I do not need the lights and would donate them back if I was to win. Just want to clarify the rules

 

[mojoreef]

No totm and potm are not contests they our kind of way to recognize the members.

Great job guys ! You found about 100 more than I did. I'm traveling today so an updated leader board will be posted this evening once I confirm all your answers

PAR=Photosynthetically active radiation, designates the spectral range of solar radiation that photosynthetic organisms are able to use.


Par is a term in golf used to denote the predetermined number of strokes that a scratch golfer should require to complete a hole

 

[SaltwaterNoobs]

PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) is the number of light quanta that fall in a square meter over the course of one second, that are in between the wavelengths of ~400nm-600nm.

 

[returnofsid]

PAR is a golfing term silly!

Okay, it's also Photosynthetically active radiation, PAR is used to designate the spectral range of solar radiation that photosynthetic organisms are capable of using, in the act of photosynthesis.

 

[kevnkev]

PAR = photosynthetically active radiation = solar radiation between 400-700nm that photosynthetic organisms are able to use for photosynthesis.

 

[eww]

Photosynthetically active radiation designates the spectral range of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers that photosynthetic organisms are able to use in the process of photosynthesis.
