I'm planning a Gulf of Mexico tank, using Live Rock from
Tampa Bay Saltwater.
The rock (and life forms on it) are shipped in buckets of seawater
same-day using counter-to-counter airline shipping, so there
should be many "survivors" on the rocks (soft corals, bristleworms,
etc).
The seabed at the aquaculture site is approx 20ft down,
much lower than your average coral reef.
How can I best determine the correct color spectrum and lighting
intensity for that depth? I would like to get the best lighting
for the new arrivals, with a minimum of photoacclimation stress.
