[arpee79]

Well Rob I just wanted to say that I think your doing a great job on the podcast's and keep up the great work hope you get alot more Q&A's for the show.

Heres a couple Questions

1) What Color lighting is best for Coral Soft,LPS and SPS.
2) I know you talked about water movement on your show ,but I dont think you mentioned if direct or indirect water movement is best for the diffrent corals.


Im on episode 5 so if you already covered this please disregard and Thank you for all the info on your show.

Thanks Robert,
i have moved this post cause it more of a new question.

Coral lighting and placement is a very broad topic, and can range from one extreme to another.
i can cover this ina general way if you wish, but if you are looking for more specifc, i would recommend you provide me with the types of coral you are thinking of (or are) keeping. it can range from STONG loight to no light, from very stong current to very little current.

i just want to make sure you get the best answers to your questions.
