it is to bad he just through that statment out I am surprised he stated it like that. it would be true if he added "of the right type of light" the problem with lux is that it is a light/area value and you can reach a high LUX with 25 watt incadesent bulbs as long as you have enuf. and it doesent deal with the intensity or wave lenght of the light which in my opinion is more important, but then again I don't have a book

My statement was based on the chapter on lighting in the book "The Natural Reef Aquarium" by John R. Tullock. You might just want to read it all before making statements contradicting the author. I was answering the post regarding quantity, and quantity only.
