There are many corals that rarely touch air.

The ones living along the reef crest and reef flat are most tolerant of air. Acroporas are the most common in these areas from what I read.
I did read about lps able to get embolism... But I only keep acros. In talking to Cruz he stated that to start you do 10 hours a night for 3 nights then down to 5 hours a night.

It has been said that this method will get rid of nuisance algae, cyano, Dino's

I have a ton of flow so not a issue with bubble collecting

I would suggest getting a hold of Cruz Arias at elegant corals if you have any questions. He has been great taking me through this

I will need to rearrange my tank a bunch again before I start hitting it with bubbles. One of the Cyphastrea caught a few bubbles and it burned those spots a bit.

My tank has been through a lot lately: new lights, rock tear down, new fish. So once it settles down I will be doing more tests with bubbles. But I will wait until everything is stable again so I can see clearly the affects of the bubbles alone.
