Watts per gallon rule

So are you saying that watts per gallon is the best thing
available for the average hobbiest?

I will try this one more time. There is no good hobbiest measurement to
determine if they have enough light. Watts per gallon is meaningless.
The only valid measurement is to measure the par.

Since you think watts per gallon is a great measurement what corals can
I keep in my friends 125 gallon tank with 175 watts of light on it?




You still have not answered my question. Reread my question.

Here I'll post it again:

Since you think that watts per gallon is not the best way to go, then
tell us what method that *you* think hobbiest should use?

Try to read this this time. Get a PAR meter and measure the PAR in the
tank at the level you wish to add the coral, then find out if the coral
will survive or thrive with that PAR amount.



Please define this in such a way that any hobbiest can use your method
to see if they have enough light :-)

As I have said many times. There is no way that you can come up with
any method that any hobbiest can use to see if they have enough light.
Your watts per gallon method does not work.

Wayne,

I have answered this multiple times but for some reason you can't
read the answer.

The best measurement is to measure the par in your tank and then see
what corals will survive with that par level. The only problem with
this is that a par meter is not cheap.

Now will you answer my question what corals can I keep in my 125
gallon tank with 175 watts of light on it?
