Driftwood is on a distinguished road
I like the lighting series so far. Lots of interesting reefgeek info that I can soak up.

A few things that I am curious about are:

What do you use to determine the best setup for your reef? Is there really a true and tested watts per gallon standard? What ammount of lighting is needed for deeper tanks, like 30 inches? Is there a good way for someone to determine how high in the tank to place a certain creature with different ammounts of lighting?

These questions may not really have specific answers because every system is different, but they are questions that reefers have everyday. It would be nice if someone could come up with some math that would make this easyer. Each coral could have a recommended light range and you could calculate what your light rating was by taking into consideration your lights and depth...

Anyway, best of luck on the next show!
