Anyone have links to reefs setup with some energy conservation in mind. I've been away from the hobby for a while want to set up a tank but am a little turned off by the SPS tanks (just my opinion).
I'm thinking 1 250w MH over a 4 ft 100 gallon tank or 225w of PC. Just looking for a good mix...
The biggest cash crop plant in the world is often grown indoors under halides for 24/7. Then to induce flowering (going sexual) the lights are switched to 12 on/12 off. The hormone which induces flowering is light sensitive meaning with 24/7 it never builds up. I image Macro Algae is similiar.
