Haha. That was the only one I had come up with so far. Like everything in the hobby there are so many variables that can affect it. I'm having a hard time pinpointing something that would be actually testable and not circumstantial.
With the magnesium example, I have heard that only kent tech m kills the stuff.. but I assume that your lighting, nutrients, all play a role. So, a possible test would be run three bryopsis laden systems all with the same lights, similar nutrient. Dose one with Kent, Seachem ions, and use the last as a control.
That sounds like a challenge and a lot of work. I'm just having a hard time finding something that would not give a lot of room for folks to dispute the results no matter how small the "scope" of the test is. But I think it is a cool idea, and if we think about it it is possible to carve out a nice little experiment that people could take benefit from.
Rocky's I'm in the same boat you are(not having nearly the amount of knowledge as some of the people on the forums). But I think that is kind of the point. It gives us all an opportunity to pick one small aspect of reef keeping and become an expert on it which can benefit everybody even the guys that know "everything".
I like the idea. I just don't know how much time I can commit to it. Maybe I just need to find the right thing to look into.

ok so my subject is ...drum roll please!
Can you grow corals under 1 watt led lighting
i will document growth, par, calcium, alk, mag.,sg, and temp about once a month over a 6 month period ...
it probably won't win but its something simple that i can do with my current system and just document the results for others to see
* i haven't actually read the requirements so hopefully i can make this fit the criteria ...lol

Exhibits should fit on or take up a standard 6ft table area.
A project data book and research paper are required for each project. Pictures and Videos are also HIGHLY recommended. The more detail the better
ALL the projects will be displayed at our meeting in May. During this process the BOD will judge all of them and choose the best 3. From these 3, a pair of "special judges" will decide the winner. You'll also get to display your project at MACNA 2011!!
