    You beleive this true????

    I beleive this true also.......unless growing high light corals. Glad to see someone give some input agreeing on what I have been thinking, instead of what I have read.

    It isn't simply my anecdotal belief. It is well documented in countless studies. Pretty much any book on reef keeping or corals will tell you the same thing.
