I agree and if that was the only "good" sign, I for one would never have cut back my photoperiod. But there is much more to it than good polyp extension.


I don't think anyone is arguing that this is the way to go or even the best way to light a tank. Its just yet another way that is working well for many. I know people with their halides on for 12 hours and by looking at the results (corals), you can't argue that they are wrong. Same way you can't say that TOTM I linked is not working out with his 6 hour photoperiod.
