Looking forward to a full review of the PARwise. Would be nice to see a follow-up to the PAR meter comparison that includes data for the PARwise.
I guess it doesn't matter though, because I already bought it and I love it!

The cleanest way to mount to the ceiling is to run the cable into the attic then just attach that to a 2x4 that runs across your ceiling studs. Now all you see is a tiny cable that runs into the ceiling.

Cheap option for a par meter is the senEye. Also my photoperiod is 8-8-8-8 so i can enjoy my tank in the morning before I go to work and in the evening.
