I have read posts whare people say they have SPS under VHO and PC's that are growing and everyone stops just short of calling them a lier.

this is why I am curious to the PAR lighting requirments of various corals. maby by using different combanations/types of lights it is possable to recreat the basic requirments of the corals. who knows maby I am grabbing at straws but I think it is something worth looking into now that I have the equipment to get started.
