Underwater Light Field and its Comparison to Metal Halide Lighting
Description
Intro: Over the past few years of testing MH lamps used in the hobby and attempting to characterize the light over the aquariums, one question that has often been at the back of my mind has been - How does the light over our aquariums compare to that on a natural reef? This article presents some data on the underwater light field on a reef and compares it to the artificial light field over our reef aquaria, along with discussion of other features of natural lighting that are often not simulated in our aquariums.
