True testing of lighting would be valuable. I’ve been thinking I would like to see real world side by side comparison tests of lights. The set up I’m thinking of would avail it’s self to multiple types of lights as well as variations of lights. The set up I have in mind would be as follows:
1. a single long frag tank. Say 12” deep, 24” wide, 72” long. The water would flow free from one end to the other. However lighting would be divided into 3 sections separated by walls that light can’t penitrate.
2. the above tank would share water chemistry, sump everything. The only difference is the lighting sections.
3. The corals in the growth section would all be identical but various types. To allow equal comparison.
I would love to see LED tests first. Find the one LED light that is best for all, best for LPS, best for SPS. Then take these lights and test them against T-5, T-5/LED, then Halide.
Who better than BRS to create a real world light test system
