Most of the carotenoids, which are the last five in that list, absorb somewhere around 450nm. Chlorophyll absorbs around there as well, with a second peak around 650nm. >DBW, thanks for the info, I apreciated it. >Sorry if I give a bud answer but that was what I red, anyway I like to >learn, that is why I am in the forum No problem, that is hopefully the reason everyone is here, to learn, myself included. And it was not aimed as a criticism of you in anyway. Some good has certainly come of this :-), because I myself as a consequence have been learning more about zooxanthellae and photosynthesis ;-) Catch ya, DBW | The Caretaker, OZ REEF Marine Park Melbourne | http://ozreef.org/ Australia | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail. ________________________________________ LEAVING THE LIST ================ To stop receiving messages you will need to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a command to remove you from the list.
