You should at least mention that PAR is a human-eye derived measurement and there are wavelengths both below 400nm and above 700nm that are beneficial for photosynthetic things. This is all very complicated, but even one sentence about how true UVA can help corals fluoresce or that IR from 700-850nm can help move energy between photosystems might help those who want to know more.
