I agree and run similar. Wondering your thoughts on running 27 to 28°C. What impact do you feel it has on growth vs what most recommend 25-26°C.With three words: High Energy Reef
- Strong illumination with balanced spectrum (PAR is in excess of 400 mmol/m2/sec and provided by T5 lighting)
- Very strong random low velocity water flow (water turnover of at least 100 times per hour in display tank)
- High nutrient throughput (High fish population, which is well fed; nutrients are exported to maintain a balanced ratio between NO3 and PO4; presence of PO4 is crucial for good growth- typically between 0.046-0.096 mg/)
- Elevated water temperature (27-28C)
