Seneye Guide: Par Levels for Coral

[pompeyjohn]

Is this accurate?

I'd love to find a chart which lists all corals like this.

Here's a link to an article with the min/max lighting requirements along with explanations of terms. This list has been published in several articles I've written.

Thanks Dana. I am sorry that other people are claiming your work for your own, and appreciate greatly the work you have done.

I'll vent :mad: - The first time this happened, a whole article I had written was lifted word for word from the Advanced Aquarist site, and someone else had claimed authorship. Once an article is published, it's owned by Advanced Aquarist, and I wrote to the site asking that credit be given where it was due. Instead of doing so, the article was removed from their website. To be fair, I didn't generate much of the min/max lighting requirements (I did for a few of the corals and Tridacna in the list however) but I did spend a great deal of time going through volumes of reference materials to data the information. With that said, thank you for the compliments!:)

It is tough when people lift your hard work and claim it as their own. It is so easy to do with the internet now.

Thing is it's also that much easier to give credit where due.

Still the way it goes. ;)

After careful review of the information concerning lighting requirements of various photosynthetic invertebrates published on the Seneye website, I have determined their list contains more than the two lists I have published, hence, it was incorrect for me to say that this data was mine, especially considering much of these lists were gathered from peer-reviewed articles and are in the public domain. I did generate several of the datasets for Hawaiian corals. The lists were similar enough for me to believe, after a quick review, that the data was simply copied. It was not – it is a more complete compilation. It is my intent to present correct and truthful information, and I erred in this matter. My apologies to all.

The Seneye list is a valuable guideline for lighting requirements of corals.

Further – a clarification. I made reference to a previous incident where an article I wrote was re-published with another taking credit. Seneye is a reputable firm, and has products of great value, and was not involved in this matter in any way.

Again, my apologies.

Want a real rant...;)

"Genus" plus "specific epithet" = SPECIES..

Genus... Acropora
Specific Epithet.... cervicornis

SPECIES: Acropora cervicornis

spəˌsifik ˈepəTHet/
noun
BotanyMicrobiology
noun: specific epithet; plural noun: specific epithets

1. the second element in the Latin binomial name of a species, which follows the generic name and distinguishes the species from others in the same genus.

bugged me in college and to this day....:)
