wetsocks Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 I had I phytobloom that I wanted to attribute to a moonlighting, but I have other variables that could have obviously attributed to it. (Restructuring tank, frags, etc.) Perhaps by aggregating some anecdotes with regards to a scheduled moonlight (Or daylight hours) we might learn something about the various livestock we cohabitate with. We could combine the minds of a bunch of dumb brains to stumble across something that could be discovered by one smart person. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment

If you were “disturbing” the tank by restructuring then that is your culprit. Quote Link to comment

If you were “disturbing” the tank by restructuring then that is your culprit. I'm not looking for a culprit. For the third time, I'm just wondering if someone noticed a bloom of sort of life within their tank (Macro, coral, pyhto etc.) due to a scheduled moonlight. It's a conversation not a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment

kimberbee Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 @WV Reefer - Seriously? I thought you just really, really liked unicorns!! 🤦♀️ As for moonlights... only thing happening here is that the brighter the moonlights get (full moon), the more I think, "did I leave a light on downstairs, or is that just my tank...?" 🤔 1 3 Quote Link to comment

Some coral spawn around September October which suggest the pattern of the daylight hours would be of equal importance to reproduction, in addition to moonlight. There is the issue of sex, some coral are hermaphroditic which suggest their sex could be influenced by conditions as well. Quote Link to comment
This guy is extra salty Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I have some snails spawn cause of the lunar cycle I have on my lights 1 Quote Link to comment
Beer Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I was watching a MACNA talk last night by someone that does a lot of research breeding marine fish (cannot remember his name). He was talking about mimicing lunar cycles to trigger spawning in species that are not continuous spawners. Quote Link to comment
