Ok since no-one replied I went along and bought it
Its a nice little gadget and will help initially with the setup of a tank. First it measures the ammonia levels which is an excellent indication of when your tank is ready to have fish. Secondly, it measures the pH from 6.4 to 8.5 which means that for some people this is helpful to measure your CO2 injection. Last but most important its the PAS meter. I don't know how accurate this is because I don't have a real PAR meter but if used in relativity it is very helpful. I measured the PAR reading of 4 tanks including mine at the top and bottom of water column. I then used the readings of the successful tanks as guidelines for my tank and a friend's tank. This showed that he had less light and that I had good light in bottom center but little light in the right bottom corner.
So yes, if more people had this device since a real PAR meter is much more expensive, then more guidelines and thus more help would be available regarding lights out there.
Would love to have one but can't really justify it. Would love to see your readings and experience with it. I would have a hard time trusting the readings to be accurate unless I calibrated it with a known standard though.
It is surely just a LUX meter not a real PAR meter.
