Study from 2018 showed SPS acclimate faster under blue light. I run my blues at 30% for the first 48 hours, no whites. Zero losses in six months.
Got a link to that study? I'd love to read the methodology.

QT tanks are a vibe, honestly. Less stress for the coral, less stress for you when you don't gotta nuke your display with flatworms.

Wild corals get tossed by waves daily. A little tank transition ain't gonna kill 'em if your water's tight. Fight me.

Still think a slow drip's worth it for the $200 frags. Not all of us like playing coral roulette.
