Sorry I’ll disagree here. Costal areas are usually calmer wind wise at night. thus there are less and smaller wind driven waves at night.
During the day most days there are sea breezes are driven by heating over the near shore land.
I can not believe that so far, 60% say no ???
The natural way of all bodies of water on earth slow down after sunset. We all know that, so what's with the 60% ?
Umm, you realize the moon doesn't just shine at night, right? It actually orbits the earth every 27 days and therefore its gravitational pull on the oceans also changes its angle as it moves around the earth. It doesn't have anything to do with the time of day.Just trying to explain how gravity works with the ocean at night.
Wow, just wow.Gravity is stronger at night just because there aren't any high or strong waves doesn't mean the water doesn't move with more force. Gravity is going to be working against the waves which is why you see less of them. More pressure means more forceful flow at night.
It can also be flat calm in the middle of the ocean at any given time. 40 miles offshore is still near coastal. I spend 6 months a year on a ship and the worst weather always seems to be at night with all things equal such as swell direction, fetch and water depth. On a reef in shallow water near coastal ya probably calmer at night. However we try to keep the ship away from the reefs.Sorry man I’ve been 40 miles offshore at night and it can be slick calm.
Surface winds are generally more near shore during the day. Certainly as you move further offshore seas can be higher all dependent on swell direction, fetch, and water depth.
I have my MP40s programmed to switch from Reef Crest mode during the day to Lagoon mode at night and drop the flow rate by only 10%. Seems to be OK, fish and corals are doing fine.WOAH, slow your flow there partner!
There is the idea that ocean currents are more calm and night and so lower flow at night in our reef tanks better simulates the natural habit of corals. Does it matter for all of our corals and livestock or just the shallow water corals? Are you buying it?
Do you think you should lower the flow in your reef aquarium at night time?
Sounds cool and dangerous stay safe. I knew I was right.It can also be flat calm in the middle of the ocean at any given time. 40 miles offshore is still near coastal.

Stop trolling before someone actually believes this nonsense. lolWaves get stronger at night since the distance between the Earth and moon decreases and gravitational force increases.
