Plant database

Every plant group in the layout, each with the PAR measured at its own position rather than a figure quoted for the tank as a whole. Groups that have been removed stay in the record, listed separately. Botanical detail is general to the species; anything specific to this aquarium is marked as observed or as not yet recorded.

PAR figures are from the September 18, 2026 survey under the Chihiros WRGB II Pro 90, measured underwater with an Apogee MQ-510; positions not in that survey say so. The original Solar RGB baseline is in PAR Mapping Across a 90P.
