OI Bring me back something nice will ya Acans will do I guess, if you have to find a filler coral. Dan.

Bombers point is that he is giving his corals enough light to reach photoinhibition. Which for him thats 2hrs of MH + all the VHO he uses. If you have different lights & a different tank, you will need to work out your own times for coral photoinhibition. A coral doesnt need to recieve any more light once its reached that point so if you burn you MH for 5hrs longer than that you (Acording to him/others) are just wasting electricity. Thats what I understood from the discussion anyway. Dan.

AT IMO this is the major downfall with a DSB, the need to reseed. I see reseeding as renewing or cleaning of the filter. Could you imagine how dirty a Carbon filter or skimmer would be if it wasnt changed or cleaned in 5 years? I couldnt see either working at all after 5 months even. We put a lot of effort into cleaning every other part of a tank, why should a DSB any different? It is a living filter that still needs maintenance. Dan.
