Pretty Good Article here

Thoughts on this?
This article shows how some of the thought process for SPS has changed over the last few years, particularly the relationship to NO3 and light values.
IMO its well written

Well worth the 5 mins it takes to read if you're into SPS

If you don't want to read the article... but it really is simple.. here are the quick notes
This is what Mike recommends for optimum coloration in SPS
PAR - 450-650
The higher the PAR then the higher the NO3 levels
The higher the NO3 levels then the higher the ALK
again, this is just the gist of the article. Although I'm sure lots of folks do this automatically, I think its nice to see it in a nice concise form IF this is the formula you subscribe to

I've read this a few times. Well written just like you said. I agree and follow most things minus the higher nutrient/alkalinity relationship in my 180 sps tank.
