Advice Required for lighting periods

[MitchM]

I actually think that in order to have strong corals, temperature, water movement and lighting need to vary throughout the day.
It's water chemistry that must remain as stable as possible.
Feeding is also an overlooked aspect of keeping corals. They need more than light and chemicals.
I think that by keeping temperature as steady as possible we actually make our corals weaker or more susceptible to injury.
Allelopathy is also another area that many of us overlook. Many of us keep coral "gardens" - a mixture of different types of corals.
We can't see it, but chemical warfare is constantly occurring. There is no method of determining when our activated carbon needs to be changed, and we depend on that carbon to remove those toxins.
