SPS and flow...need help.

Marie's post is missing a ?

She's saying that watts/gallon is not a very good way to know how much light is enough. SPS like high light, high flow, but stable, low-nutrient conditions, which is very hard to achieve in smaller tanks that are new. SPS should be kept in more established tanks after all the nutrient levels are stabilized. New tanks often have fluctuating nutrient levels which will brown out SPS & often lead to death.
