I guess I am still trying to figure out what you are trying to learn from this hobby Bob ? ... if you are going to do a research paper at some time down the road that illustrates the
bare minimum environment for marine animals then you are well on your way right
Every time someone talks about skimmers / Metal Halide etc you pipe in about how all that is
overkill ... that is your
opinion right ?
As to the nature arguement ... anemones that require more light in nature have the ability to " pick up their foot " and move to a new location that provides more light ( like the
SUN ! ) ... however the anemones in our aquariums dont have that luxury
You have your opinion and I have mine
... I think I have a valid basis for trying to provide a more ideal environment for these animals ... I still dont get your motivation but HEY ! you have your opinion right ?
Cheers
