Hey MASC,
I am doing a project in stats where I have to compare variables using a data set over 30 and test a hypothesis. I did the project already using lame text book data but since it isn't interesting I thought I would do something cool, measuring lighting vs coral growth in Colorado. Would you guys be interested in participating? If so I have 3 simple questions (you can expand as much as you like) to post or PM me if you like:
Watts per Gallon:
(Total watts of lighting / Display lighting)
Coral growth:
(avg amount of heads of Zoas and mm of SPS per year, or just 1 you know but please specify which)
Main type of lights:
(Led, MH, T5, other?)
If you have any questions feel free to ask. I understand there are some kinks to this, like exact measurement of coral, but I figured as hobbyist you have a good idea of your growth (plus the stats will polish the numbers to normalize the data as long as I have 30 participants and there is reasonably true data given, so if your off my 1mm or 1 zoa head it will resolve). Also I understand there are 100's of other variables many including water quality measurements, flow, etc.. but this is just one step of hopefully many as a club. If it works out we can collect lots of data!
Thank you very much,
Bill
