I used actinic lighting at 420 nm for 10 to12 hours during 3 weeks treatment and things worked fine. However the glass and top was draped to exclude ambient lighting.

therealfatman please...
Have you tried this method against dinoflagellates with success?
Have you noticed any bad side effect in Corals Health?
How did you decide to make treatment for 3 weeks?
Did you decide it watching your tank and seeing 2 weeks was not enough?
I´m very interested in your full report.

Thanks.



We have tried only actinic lights during 14 days against a several infestation of cyano with good results...

No bad side effect with the corals...
Some corals look better in coloration and growth after 14 days with actinics...

"Regarding the action on the corals, I can say that in the 2 weeks that I have had under these circumstances, have not suffered anything - and always take these claims with the appropriate caution, but most have been developed, improved colors and healed wounds. Further, these startling results led me to establish another line of research about the benefits and detriments of the actinic light / trifósforo, also based on these studies. "





Excuseme mods and users, I couldnt contact with therealfatman by pm...

I have not used it against dinoflaellates, but have found it effective against hair algae, cyano and byropsis.

Have you noticed any bad side effect in Corals Health?
I have at times noticed an improvement in attachment of frags and recovery from physical damage with actinic exclusive lighting. I find it is pretty hard to judge an improvement in growth of SPS a short period of time such as three weeks. I have noticed improved colorration in some corals but I see so much change in coral colors for so many different reasons I have a hard time giving credit just one cause.

How did you decide to make treatment for 3 weeks?
Just trial and error over a period of years with many different tank systems.

Did you decide it watching your tank and seeing 2 weeks was not enough?
Yes, after trying two weeks in many different tanks for differing nuisance alage. Shorter periods would likely be as effective if I did more physical claening in conjunction with the deprived lighting, bt in genaeral with mild to medium infestations I do no physical algae removal.

I´m very interested in your full report.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for your answers, therealfatman...

My friend Phoenix actually is researching about the possible side effects of this method to enhance health, growth and coloration...

therealfatman, watch this thread please...
Perhaps my friend Phoenix woud like to contact with you here to make some questions...

therealfatman.
Thank you very much.
