Hello to all, Do you think we can compare notes?
For those of you who attended the meeting of Anthony Calfo's, Can you share what you learned at the meeting for those people who were not able attend.
I'll start.
1) He said that ACTINIC LIGHT is aesthetics use only and doesnt have any impact on the corals at all.
2) He also do not believe on those 400 watter MH's. He thinks it's too much specially for a small tank like a 30g. But he mentioned that before buying your bulb, you have to know what corals you want and what kind of lighting it needs.
3) He mentioned that he has a reef tank that uses shop lights for some time a long time ago. And he believes that you only need to supply some sort of flash or bright light for a short period of time just enough to trigger something on the corals for it to react... and then supply it with whatever light you have other than metal halide. (Mojoreef already explained this... on a diff thread.)
4) That you need to know the grouping of your corals so that you can minimize the stress when fighting occurs.
Ex: Deep corals are not suppose to go with shallow corals on the same tank. He also doesnt believe in "MIXED REEF TANK" where you can see softies with hard and with acros.
Hmmm.... what else....
please feel free to add....
