I have seen several posts hint at a relationship between PAR, Alkalinity, and nutrient levels. I just haven't seen much by the way of specifics. Anybody got any info in that area? Thanks.

I do not think these are tightly related other than the fact that these are parameters we should maintain based on the type of system we run.
 
So, for an SPS tank for example, is the optimal PAR level different for systems that maintain lower nutrient levels or is the optimal PAR level different for a low Alk systems than it is for one with higher levels... etc.?
