Now one has to wonder if the values would be the same under
all conditions in an aquarium -- for example, diff nutrient
levels, temps, etc. And of course, although the ranges are
wide in most cases, lumens becomes slightly problematic,
being a measure of wavelengths humans are sensitive too as
opposed to plants.

Btw, you won't have to type it again Goerge. It's in the
archives and a little research leg work shall make it a
find for those who seek ;-)
