How do you get PAR readings?

PAR meter...short explanation is that it's basically a light sensor that measures the photosynthetic light put out by a source. There are a few brands (like Apogee) that make the sensor as well as the display to give you your results. Other people use the sensor in conjunction with a multimeter to get the same results (after a little simple math).
MASC has one available for rent, details are in this thread:

The par meter will be available to check out. Short and simple version of details is the following but there will certainly be more details when the program is announced/released.
- There will be a par meter sub-thread
- sticky that will stay locked by the board which will have an ongoing list of whom has the par meter (peer accountability)
- 2nd sticky ongoing list of requests to be added to waiting list
- par meter will be checked out and in to a board member each time (ensures damage control and liability for possession)
- there will be a deposit for full replacement required every time the par meter is checked out from a BOD member
- there will be $5 per 3 day rental fee - which means you have it 6 days = $10 ( funds will be used to purchase additional equipment such as additional par meter, higher grade testing equip, things that average reefer won't spend money on)
- full deposit returned up return of meter and everything checks out
- next person on the list is up for check out
