Default 400W MH's inhibiting Photosynthesis......

Tigger,

I dont believe that is too much light,by a long shot.

My corals just told me not to listen to Dana,so i dont think im gonna. ;)

Isnt some "Inhibiting" just what we want?...
to get the colors we wish ?

I dont disagree that they can be "maintained" under these lower lighting scenarios,but to just maintain them is not enouph.
I have had many sps in low light areas,and the majority of them are brown,due to producing extra zooxanthellea(sp?)to make up for the lower light levels.
This is consistent with mother colonies that are directly under heavy lighting,producing a much nicer color by far.

Ok,Could someone hold this rock up so i can crawl back under it now?

Marc.
