    and maybe light acclimation. if you are running something particularly bright you may want to light acclimate...more delicate red macros especially

    Some marine plants are also sensitive to salinity as well if there are major fluctuations from tank to tank.

    I have tons of marine plants in my tank they grow like crazy, some are sensitive to light as well.
