Fish arent photosynthetic. Seems obvious, but we have people on the forum that think $800 reef lights have lighting modes that are healthier for fish vs cheaper lights.
I've experimented with every possible parameter for paly/growth and it comes down to low competition environments in terms of nuisance algae along with moderate or elevated nutrient environments. Lighting is lighting.
Lighting periods with SPS is established science. Brighter photo periods equal shorter photo periods, and vice versa. Theres of course a biological limit to the extremes of this.
