sps advice

About 2 weeks ago I moved all of my corals from my 20 long to my new 50 gallon system. Parameters were the sam and I adjusted the lights to the same par value the corals were used to in the old system. I had noticed over the past week that my orange monticap has been losing tissue a little bit...

Hey fellow stick heads! I snagged an awesome piece of Fuzzy Navel and would love to know what conditions you've found help yours keep that bright yellow coloration! I fully expect mine to brown out as it settles into my higher nutrient system and but would love to hear what lighting intensity...

Hey fellow reef junkies! I've decided to chase the dragon when it comes to eliminating shadowing on my sps for growth... and selfish viewing purposes. I currently run (3) Hydra 32HD's with diffusers over my 48x24x16 (depth) and have great growth and coloration coming in. However, the shadowing...

Hello Everyone how are you ? I am new to this forum and I have a saltwater aquarium from long time. but I tried my best to keep the parameters set. I am attaching the parameters and tank image I still not able to understand I purchased new sps all they are showing are brown in colour from 10...

hi friends I received a raspberry limeade acropora for my tank around 12/20/2022. We acclimated it according to procedure and the others we received with the order have flourished and begun to spread (they are different coral types). I was under the impression this coral wanted high light and...

Alright R2R, Apologies for the wall of text in advance...... I've been lurking and watching similar threads for a long time, and have been in this hobby for 20+ years. I did take break for around the last 8ish years, but have never racked my brain or had so many issues keeping more finicky...

Looking to see some of your favorites. I’m trying to fill in the remaining spots in my tank and as I do I want to be more particular with that I get. Right now I don’t have a ton of color so I’m looking to mix it up. Really want to see some of your favorite reds, oranges, pinks, blues, and purples.

Hello reefers! I have started a 20g reef tank and it quickly has become sps dominant. I have a 20 gallon aio waterbox rimless with the stand. It truly is a beautiful tank they make. I will post my build and progression. I am looking to upgrade my flow but I’m still looking for the perfect...

So, i got a spare tank, and im thinking about turning it into a little sps dominant tank. Just to finally dip my toes into some sps The main thing im looking for here is, i have a spare hydra 32hd as well, would it be enough on its own for this size tank, how high off the water surface should...

Good Afternoon Everyone - Happy Friday! I was hoping to get some suggestions on what I may be doing wrong with my new SPS corals. I have had my tank going for 2 years now and have lots of softies and some LPS, fish, anemones. They have all one great and after beginning to dose 2 part I decided...

Hey All, I'm new to SPS and picked up this frag along with a Red Monti Cap and some nice Pocci frags on the weekend from my LFS. I didn't get the name of the acro (If it has one) and I've just got some questions that I hope to have answered. First up is what's this guy called? The pictures don't...

I have this rainbow monti I bout probably a bit over a month ago. This is my fist ever SPS coral and overall don’t have a ton of knowledge about it. it was real vibrant and colorful until I left for vacation. I was gone for a week and while I was away my conch buried it in the sand. As you can...

Hi fish people, I got this wwc green birdsnest a few months ago and about a month ago it started bleaching. Maybe six weeks at this point. This is my first coral that's started doing that so I was slow to react. I've lowered the light intensity and the time the lights are on. It's still slowly...

Morning. Can anyone ID the two corals in front of the birdsnest? The one to the left was purchased a few months ago. It was much smaller and yellow. Now it has grown quite a bit and is springing up new vertical growth and is a beautiful green. just not sure what the one on the right is either...

Hello all, my friend bought me a birds nest acropora two days ago. It doesn’t look too healthy in my opinion so I am concerned my tank isn’t up to snuff, the rest my corals are really healthy and growing just this one isn’t (or maybe I am just overreacting) My tank parameters are as follows...

Quick question for those sps knowledge people. I'm new to SPS and have an mp10 in a 10 gallon to provide flow but it's on blasting from the one side. So their lots of direct flow but it's constant. Is this okay? which SPS would be okay with this flow? Is there a setting a should have instead of...

I'm on my 2nd tank now (Reefer 350, about 4 months old) but I've been in the hobby for 2 years now and I'm still not able to keep SPS well, even when everything seems the way it should be. I have some friends in the hobby who have great SPS tanks and I do everything they say and it's still not...

I’ve had this gorgeous green bird’s nest SPS for a few months now. It’s mostly been plush and healthy. Recently, I noticed it’s looking different. A couple parts of the tips look boney. Is this a sign that it’s growing or is it unhealthy? Not sure if there’s too much light. It’s been doing...

I’ve got a biocube 32 led. I’m currently growing zoa and LPS like weeds. What sps can I start with that will live in my biocube that is easy to keep and won’t cost me an arm and a leg?

Hey guys, can I grow SPS in a 32 biocube LED? If so what is a good beginner sps that won’t hurt anything else? I have candy canes, blasto, hammer, and zoas (and some crazy paly grandis) all growing like weeds in my tank.

Hi guys after 3 years I feel like this tank is decent enough and need to start a new tank... I set up a new 120 Gallon Display tank with some bonsai tree Rock work and plan to select some frags from the main display for this new tenuis grow out. its going to be a long journey replicating the...
