Not a lot of hobbyist use scientific studies to be more successful and just go by general consensus or anecdotal evidence, nice work and keep it up.

You are the only Reefer who don't just promote a product even if that product works. Excellent work and thanks for reading these papers because they would definitely just put me to sleep.

I think that you explain some of these papers pretty clearly. I'd like to see more content like this.

You and Jake adams are carrying the hobbies understanding of reef tanks. Keep it up man

This should have 20k likes atleast by now,great work. Keep up the great content 👏.

This is the most useful reefing vid I’ve seen in a long long time. Thanks for putting this together. You are an easy watch. 😎

I LOVE these videos! thank you so much for taking the time to share all this information. These reef science videos are seriously some of the best reefing content I've ever seen!

Hey Amro, I appreciate the time and effort you put in to make these awesome videos! Very interesting and informative studies that you have been researching and I look forward to the update!

You’re awesome man! Thank you so much for taking the time and researching subjects that help the hobby. Really love the videos!

Thanks for all your scientific work. Please don’t get corporate sponsorship. Keep it real.

Will be very interesting to follow along and see the results you get. Great research you have done on this subject thanks for taking the time to do it it’s much appreciated and thanks for sharing

Awesome video thanks for your research!!

Halfway thru and this is just brilliant - definitely the best reefing video of the month ;)

as always excellent videos! Thanks a lot for these great bibliographical summaries!!!!!!

My scientific approach is to purchase known colorful specimens and keep the parameters stable. Red Sea AB+ had a positive effect on restoring color to new acropora frags. Nice lights help a lot.

Love the Videos! looking forward to the updates!

Fantastic!!! Love this scientific summary. Makes so much sense and nicely brings together the puzzle pieces? You covered not only coloration, but also growth and nutrition. All the best with your new journey with your new setup? There may be some challenges as you are going to push limits, however that will just make it a little more exciting.

awesome video! i will definitely read that publication! your tank looks good also! thanks for sharing! acropower is an awesome amino acid!

Nice job. Enjoyed!

Well done sir. More shared research furthers the hobby and this was a great share! My tank really took off after I rented a par meter and dialed in the intensity and spectrum. Acros get 650-300 par depending on location & type. Have to dose Red Sea colors to keep up the ICP results at sea water numbers. At that point aminos are crucial. Thanks for the video. I listened to it twice.

Amro love you man.. you’re an amazing reefer

Excellent content, well presented, thank you.

Interesting video. Well done.

Thank you for reviewing this paper for us. One thing that I’m missing in the original study is the analysis of par between 100 and 400. In some cases, The graphs show that the amount of proteins saturates at the 400 par and there’s a significant difference between 100 and 400. However, this saturation might as well occur at the 150 par. Unfortunately, the low resolution of the samples wouldn’t show that.

Working in Aquaculture with daily ICP testing you saying that Traceelements haven't had a effect on color is just mindbending to me. Light and nutriants are only a part of the equation. At high PAR levels Iodine/Zinc are extremely important to prevent corals from bleaching. Running Manganese a bit higher and suddenly red colors overlay other colors, same happens with Iron and the color Green. Another observation we made is that our LPS dominanted Systems update Vanadium in a much higher rate then our SPS systems. There is a lot more but don't want make a wall of text. 🤣

I look forward to future videos to see the progress because I am currently in the same place, so keep it up and let us know how it goes!

Keep posting vids often ❤️

You can see here one of my SPS tanks : denadai-reef.com/reef-600l/ I never dosed aminos or trace elements in this tank. Here another tank with po4=0 and No3=0 : denadai-reef.com/reef-atual/ I never dosed aminos or trace elements in this tank And here you can see my current tank : kzfaq.infoUgypdw5foD88h5tVTZl4AaABCQ This tank has no3=0 and po4 = 0.01/0.02 and dosing aminos and traces Just my two cents :-) Best Regards

REALLY appreciate this video...who would have thought an actual educated response to the age old question of coloration. Also interested to hear which amino acid product you choose and why you chose that specific product. Thanks :)

Well done! 🍻🦉

Fantastic distillation of the research and applying them to your tank. I can’t wIt to see the results over time. Those frags will grow in no time. One ask- can you please add the papers you referenced in the description? I’d love to read them and know others may as well without going down the google rabbit hole. Thanks for the scientific POV!

Merci pour ta vidéo !!! 👍👍👍

Nice job 👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you for video! It is very interesting! Could somebody give a link for document of Melissa S. Roth?

Interesting video can’t wait to see how your progress on the tank goes. What kind of time increments will you use on ramping the par up?

High par needs high nutrients. However you want to do it. High export high feed or keeping a balance with them there.

New sub for you! 🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♂️ awesome video!

A shallow water Acro likes high light. Revolutionary! lol. Good information though...just playing. It sounds like PAR around 400 is a good starting point for SPS... and interesting theory that higher light may spur uptake of trace elements. Please do a video on Amino's. I love your scientific angle on the hobby.

Great informative video, are there any of these type of papers, that you are aware of for euphillias at all. I'm assuming that colour spectrum can shift colours slightly. I have had the same hammer coral under the same viparspectra led for 3 years, I recently changed 20 of the leds out adding more royal blues and violets and removing the yellower leds. This has resulted In the stems of the hammer that were the browny in colour to have a green hue to it now.

Wows super fantastic saltwater aquarium and Acropora corals too... I wish my tank likes your tank don't knows when it happened....

Great indepth study of coral requirement and light. Prior to my tank crash (due to something else), I didn't know much about par requirement and use my ATI 8x80w light barely 2 inches away from water surface. SPS were growing like crazy with crazy fluorescent. Later I borrowed a par meter and realized that my sps were receiving between 600 to 800 par. So when I hear studies that says about 300 par is sufficient I was quite sceptical. In any case, great video. Any particular brand of amino acid are you thinking of dosing? I would like to give it a try too.

Nice vedio

Great video finally something scientific. Can you find info about flow :)

Good vidieo thanks 👍 I have recently began dosing oceamo. I dont think its available in the US but it may be of interest to you to read up on their regulators A and O, a lot of that ties in with your video 👍

Waiting for your results on more light and effect of Amino acid and Traces.

Very intresting your Video. Do you get cyanos when you run so much blue? How high Do you run the pointintensity at your Radions at the ab+ schedule? Greetings from germany.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. Your sps look stunning. I am currently loosing my sps (non acro) as I tried to raise nitrates by spectracide (tree stump remover diluted according to Holmes Farley's direction). I guess what I am trying to understand to get those stunning Sps what is: 1. PAR 2. Nitrates and phosphates 3. Alkalinity And how much stable do you keep those parameters? That is what I am trying to find out. I tried very low nutrients(with all like 7.7 to 8) for long with high light (like 300_350 par) but growth was not good. So I started playing with nutrients and then it nuked everything. Thanks

I have trouble keeping Pinks and Reds, I end up turning them Green. I wonder if it's because, i'm increasing the GFP in them. As I'm smashing them with Radion 4's and 5's at 100% intensity..

You have a huge colony of acropora carduu, mine when it grows a lot begins to fight for the center, I have cut it twice and except for the cuttings and it continues to grow but I can't have it like that, my light and current parameters are correct and not I feed the corals, I don't know if you have any idea what might happen. With other colonies of acropora this problem does not happen to me

Nice video! Btw, par meter is needed then..?!

I have found the exact same summary through the years. May try to make my own amino acids after I finish my last gallon of acropower. I am finding having a higher fish load and nutrient level is better. I am letting my NO3 reach 10ppm and PO4 level =0.12ppm

Sadly that Light test was done under T5s which is different from LEDs. Corals do fine under 900 par from t5s, 900 par from LEDs on the other hand is almost certain death.

Pretty interesting studies. I guess the only issue I have is your conclusions are nearly identical to almost every other major source of information in the reefing community. Increase par, feed heavily and check your dosing levels...that’s what everyone says to do. But I suppose it’s nice that all the scientific papers you found just left us with the same conclusions we’ve all found anecdotally.

I’ve always thought those “rainbow” acro photos were photoshopped. It turned out they actually look that colorful in person.

What intensity % are you going to run your Radions to get that PAR?

When you say blue light in the video is this royal blue? Or uv and voilet mixed in? And were the uv and voilet ran at max

Wow. How u manage Mg level since u hav lot of Coraline etc

anyone else see the blenny go into the power head at 24:52 lol

Perhaps a reduction in prices can help average people like me

Get yourself some t5 or even better metal halide, the corals will look better. If not turn up your whites on the led. Corals need full spectrum (leds dont have that) especially at higher par. People have known this for decades with far better tanks then the great led tanks now. IMO there is some loss of knowledge on lighting in the hobby/on the forums. par is not everything as it only reads certain spectrum, leds only produce this spectrum. Stop dosing no3 and start feeding more. Corals like taking ammonium not nitrate. Keep your n and p low with export (chaeto) if you want great colors.

Nice video, hopefully you like mine aswell

I guess ill just read the papers since this turned into a science class 🙄🙄🙄 bruh… cut the fat and give us the skinny jesus
