Have a couple ricordea that were near each other at the base of a rock. I had hope of them growing/splitting up the rock but I’m thinking I may need to move my orange guy. The green ricordea lifted itself up a little last night and moved closer to the orange one. Before I was having trouble...
Hey all. I have two MP40s in my Red Sea Reefer 250, have had them both on the sides of the tank and on the back glass and am wondering what other peoples opinions are on placement in this dimension tank. I mainly moved them because i felt like I was getting serious dead spots behind my aquascape...
Hi all,
I am getting ready to place an elegance coral in my tank and wondering about how to place it on my sand bed. Should I place the elegance on the sand bed or should I plan to bury the skeleton into the sand bed to prop it upwards? My sand bed is on the shallower side (1”) for where I’d...
Hello! Thank you very much in advance for your help / advice!
I am starting a 75 gallon tank, dimensions 48" x 18" x 21"
I really, really want if not need torch coral(s) in my tank
However, as I am planning out my locations, I am running into some questions
1. How long roughly (under optimal...
I'm fairly certain it is, I purchased it months ago and now I can't find my paperwork.
With all the changes lately... I'm really having a hard time with these acans... but I am starting to get better! Lol ;P
So had a 15g jbj cubey for almost 4 months.
Coral added after the first week
Then second-week fish
All levels were good
Posting full tank shot. want to see if I'm in the right direction for placement and health
A few questions are...
Are my zoas too close together?
2 corals don't seem to look...
I am building my first tank right now, It is a small tank, only 29 gallons (30"-12"-18" in) I have it sitting on a 58.8lb wooden cabinet. My math says the entire thing will weigh a little over 388lbs.
The problem is that I live on the third floor of an apartment complex. The tank will be in the...
Hello fellow saltines,
I just got some new corals and when I was dipping a brittle star came off. I'm excited because I normally just get bristleworms. :-) Where do I put him in my tank? Do I put him on the sand bed or a rock. I also noticed half a brittle star. Not sure if these legs came off...
Would anyone have a decent idea on varieties of coral that can grow upside down, or glued to the underside of an aquascape?
My first thought was NPS (Non Photosynthetic) Corals, because they don't need light and I could just spot feed.
But I'm a big fan of easy corals so I don't know if NPS is...
What type of coral would be happiest/safest going on the arch of the rock?
Currently none of my coral are glued down because I wanted to make sure that they will thrive in their location before it becomes their permanent home. There are plenty of spaces on the main sections of the rock...
So I have my hammers and candy cane that I feel aren’t in the best spots based on the light and flow in those areas. I wondered where the best placement would be.
I attached some pictures of my aquarium and scape.
I just installed 2 eflux current 1050 gph powerheads.
Currently have them set to gyre mode at 70%
My hammer retracted completely after turning the powerheads on so worried it might be getting too much flow. Nothing else seems affected
Hi just ordered this coral which arrives in 2 days. Can’t find a massive amount of information on them but wanting to know if I should give a lot of space around it…… Got a couple of placement options, one’s 8 inches from my euphillia and others at other side of tank bout 10inches from...
Hi
I’m wanting suggestions for Lsp corals for top 3rd / left side of my tank….. Currently have 2 hammers on right side of picture…. Got a blue/green toxic hammer comming tomorrow for top part between the 2 existing hammers on the peak and placing a micromussa lord at the bottom right on the...
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has any input as to my current coral stocking plan, I'm mostly gonna be sticking with LPS and softies and later down the line I'll probably add an "easy SPS" like pink cauliflower pocillopora or montipora Capricornus. I'm slightly worried that the euphylias on the...
Hey everyone,
I was hoping to get some guidance on coral placement for my tank. Im open to suggestions so please let me know what you think would work well and add to the display.
The top layers i eventually want to have acros.
The small rock in centre has some zoa frags to cover the rock.
I...
Hey guys so I bought a random pack from a local reef store which I now realize wasn’t a good idea for me cause this is my first reef tank, I would like help identifying the corals an maybe placement tips it would be much appreciated!!!
I just thought I would start a thread to see what everyone is doing as far as care for Zoas/Palys, and see what others have found they like best. Please vote and share your comments below. I have always heard Zoas love MH but have never tried them under that type of lighting.
Does anyone have some unique tank pics they want to share? One of my goals is to one day have either a kitchen island aquarium or an aquarium in the wall as a "divider wall" between kitchen/dining room/living room or something of that nature. Also super into Cylinder Tanks! I'd love to see your...
For example I have several torches with one or two heads each. But all fragged from different colonies. Will they sting each other if I place them close enough that they can brush against each other?
This might be a stupid question but how do people place coral on their sand bed without it being knocked over constantly by fish or by the flow? Especially for smaller frags.
Hi all,
So I have an orange mushroom. Nothing fancy, just a $10 frag, the thing is between the size of a nickel and a quarter... I've had it for over a month - it's not growing and it's not shrinking... it just seems to "be". :)
The tank is a 5x2x2. The mushroom is placed near the...
