What is the best sps growth supplements?

[thebanker]

i have tried many different things to increase growth in my corals including different supplements, various photo periods, over feeding and large water changes, etc, etc, etc... the one change that hands down brought on THE MOST growth in my sps was switching to a 10k bulb!

+1............

Had been sometime using 10K in my fragging tank then changed to 14k and discovered the slow growth.

So how do you explain this observed difference when compared to this study:

Thanks Mike, it is indeed a good article. Am not an expert here, base on my experience in trying few of the Kelvin rating here. As Mike Paletta had in his finding quite contradict though, but in my opinion it base on the true performance of individual bulb lighting after it burned properly as mentioned in his book 100-200hrs burning.

Best reef central answer is.. "fish poop" and Rock solid parameters, good lighting, good flow, lots of food in, lots of export out and patience.

I think this answers the question

What brand bulb is the 10k? And what was the Kelvin and brand of the one u were using before that? I'm thinking of switching to 10k from 14 k phoenix , but not sure it is worth it.
