I recently just watched a presentation by @Randy Holmes-Farley at the 2016 MACNA. I believe I have a fairly good understanding of the information that was presented. What my question is, does water depth have an impact on photosynthesis?
If I was wanting optimal growth from coral and so much worried about coloration, would 110 PAR. I know the Porites coral was in a tide pool in about 5" of water. I am sure that it would hard to monitor corals at deeper depths, but have any studies been done concerning the rate of photosynthesis at different water depths?
