thats nice, but who is the author and who are the authors he is referring to?? we have a study by one of the foremost marine biologist saying that it has been found that SPS do not eat algae and now this one going on old studies says it eats algae... who knows.. as for that article I would not take any of it at face value with out being able to read the actual studies.
the problem with this is two people can take a group of the same studies and come to two totally opposite conclusions by there interpretation of the data. This has been repeated several times by names I won't mention.
so while it is good reading it doesn't have the info needed to make an informed decision in it.
I know from the 5 or 6 times I have tried feeding, I did not get an increase in growth, or color, or anything. each time I fed for two months so in that time frame I would have hoped to notice something.
Now I do agree that you do not need nutrient void water as I also believe that my over feeding of the fish does contribute to some of the corals nutrients, but with a highly over skimmed tank you can over feed and strip out the excess before it breaks down and becomes a problem.
