DAILY QUESTION: How might natural light synchronization improve the biological rhythms of corals in a reef tank?
I believe it will help them better photosynthesize or at the very least trigger better feeding responses and allow a dormancy period for those who need it.

DAILY QUESTION: What challenges have you faced with previous reef lighting systems?

Metal Halides :heat issues, running costs and difficulty finding replacing bulbs.
Other LEDs. LEDS burning out after short period time. Fans full of dust and damp. Loosing Wifi connections. Terrible customer service and after sales.

Ps Orphek after sales and care is best I’ve ever encountered! You guys actually care!

DAILY QUESTION: What are factors that you consider important when choosing a reef light? Why did you choose the light that you are currently using on your reef tank?

I consider price as I don’t have unlimited funds. After sales care as there is nothing worse than a company that does not want to know once they have your money.
Positive reviews and incredible tanks demonstrating lights.

Thats the million dollar question. The varying photo periods throughout the year during each season will hopefully increase overall health of the coral, increase polyp extension, and trigger spawning events
