light required by diferent corals

[Seaquest]

Hi

Finding what light and what intensity has always been a problem in reef keeping, as you mentioned how does one know were there corals came from?, well I would think that if your local reef store had a Fiji shipment you would try and read up on the geographical reef types found of the coast of the Fiji islands. This type of information would probably be found in Oceanography /ecology books at your local libray. I find it fustrating that writers don't give much information on parimeters of reef regions when there talking about corals from a specific region, they mainly write about there own reef tanks. Fiji is a big place with deep and shallow reefs but to try and pin point were your species came from on either type of reef is almost imposable unless a study has been done and reports written.
