Ok what is photoinhibition ? In short it is when the symbiotic zooxanthellae it exsposed to to much light ( to long of a photo period or to much intenses lighting like a par level of 500) When this happens the symbiotic zooxanthellae become very stressed and stops feeding thus causing lack of color and growth. I am only only referring to sps at this point.

nah it isnt like that. but i do understand the frustration. i had the lighting talk with a few people years back and since then i had cut my lighting cycle then, how it was put to me is the light from the sun doesnt stay focal for 10 hours in one spot in the ocean so why do it in your tank, plus i like having my bulbs last longer and saving a little energy

Ok. Theres a few people on here that think they know everything. Can someone answer this question ? What is photoinhibition ?
If most of you knew what this is, then most of you will be shocked on how to set-up your light cycle.
So does anyone know what this is, and the affects it holds ?

I think people would take more time listening to you and asking questions in regards to your posts if you used proper grammar and took time to correct your spelling. And may I add, not trying to make them look like they're dummies while you're trying to school them. :tongue1::tongue1::tongue1:

Btw. I took the time to correct your spelling and used proper grammar.

Didn't you make a similar post on RC, questioning everyone's knowledge about this same subject? You come off extremely rude and because of that I would never listen to a word you said.

If all you want to do is feel all high & mighty, keep it humble not rude. Acting the way you do has made you look bad.

Claim your an expert all you want, but surprisingly, their are people that know way more than you.
