QUETSION ABOUT THE POWER SWEEP (Good or BAD for SPS).
I know that in general sweeping the tank to suspend the fine particulate is a good thing.
The power sweep creates a dust like storm. NOT A SAND STORM.
I belive that over time, the daily sweep will clarify the water more, since less particulate will be on the bottom.
Do SPS corals required the super clear water (ALWAYS), or is the DAILY particulate suspension ok?
I assume in the Ocean, the corals constantly get turbulent water with things like Storms and Daily Tides.
Maybe the SPS are not near the bottom and therefore the particulates never make it to SPS heights.
A fellow reefer on Reef Central mentioned POM (Particulate Organic Matter) and DOM (Disolved Organic Matter) and how important is to keep the tank free of both. Does this sweep help? Or make thing worse?
Maybe I should schedule the sweep less often than Daily.
I'm no SPS expert, so need someone who knows to chime in.
Thanks
