Iwan,
Thank you for posting such an interesting perpective on "Korallen Farben" on your personal site! It's one of the most educational outlines of the differences between chemical and biological processes behind coloration that I have seen --und es macht mir traurig, daß ich so viel Deutsch vergessen hatte. Ich wolle mein Deutsch studieren jetzt!!!
'wiederhoeren,
Sean

Where on Iwan site is it so I can cut/paste into a translator?
Hello
I like to answer your questions
Stone corals need some prerequisites for the development of a good coloring:
- good light quality (good spectrum/large light quantity)
- no surplus nutrients
- a supply with the needed elements
- enough food
- the genetic prerequisite to the colorfulness
Many thanks.
I am pleased that the article opens the sensibility to the needs of the corals.
The article can be found here:

In my article I make the following central statements :
The corals have the ability of the color production by the production of chromoproteine (pocciloporine)
We can distinguish striking and flourescent pocciloporine
The corals use the energy for the color production only when they are fed sufficiently.
The light quality is one of the elementary factors for the production of pigments.
Not all corals have the genetic competence for the color formation
A balanced nutrient availability is important.
The colorfulness depends on the following factors:
The quality of the incident light: Light quantity and radiation spectrum
The available nutrients in the water. A high nutrient occurrence causes an increase of the zooxanthels and therefore a covering of the colors
The diet condition of the corals: Corals which suffer from a diet limitation don't use the available energy for the production of pigments
The genetic competence for the color formation. If the genetic competence is missing, you cannot get colored corals. Even under optimal conditions

beautiful!
What is the benefit of T5 bulbs over MH? Is the power consumption less as well?
Very very nice

Do you (or anyone) know what products in the US I can get that are they same as those items above. I have t5's, too, but my tank doesn't look anything like that! But I want it to!
I'm guessing DT's could be the phytoplankton. What other additives can I use to give me the AA and liquid coral food?
