seriously though, it is being found that you can achieve phenominal growth (but not good color) with NO lights, as long as you have some sort of event to triger the photosysnthis. this can be an event such as a camera flash, or a higher bulb comming on for a few miniuts then going off.
learned a lot of cool stuff, some new and different ideas but cool none the less. this theory would explaine why I am getting the same growth rate on my corals as I did with my PC's and the 175W bulbs as I do with the dual HQI's.. although color left nothing to be desired back then.
