SBB-New year new sale 250 Auctions +350 fresh WYSYWG corals Added!

[Zero_Cool]

In my 6ft 125 i run 2 mp40s at 100% and have a little gyre in the middle at 80% pulse.

I do run the aneneme guards and they do cut down on flow compared to OEM. I neglected cleaning my powerheads recently, the next day my pH was up .04 from the day before. Not sure if that was air exchange related or coral consuming more.

My understanding spaths are super shallow water coral and PAR and flow are necessary. Apparently hard coral to keep alive/not turn brown.

Thank you. I am currently getting 350 PAR at highest points, 250 across most everwhere else in the scape so I will put the new Chernobyl up high and infront of the flow as much as possible.

Keep in mind im no pro, def do your homework, but when i was looking at snagging the hysteria that was what i concluded after reading a bunch on these forums.

How large is the tank?

200 display. Good call with the rubble in sump, didn't even consider x.x

For me the rubble is a must! Also good when you need to frag a mushroom.

O for sure! I like adding smaller stand alone structures up front to isolate corals

Big tank, but bypassing the uglies of at least decreasing it would be worth the live rock. Plus the cool hitchhikers, snails, crabs, starfish, macro algae, bivalves, even corals.

I have done 3 tanks, one dry, with 10% LFS live rock to seed it. I would never want to do that again.

1 nano all live from gulf live rocks, another with dry I seeded in in the basement for months and live rock from the LFS. Those 2 tanks were off and running and never had the uglies.

This is the best way with seeding or just all live rock.

 

[billyocean]

Or just cook that rock!

I had went with all dry rock with bottled bacteria on my first tank... took a long time to beat uglies

I'm taking my time with this one and planning it out. I have around 40 lbs of live rock ready, going to try and diy arches and probably add some more seeded rock from TBS

Asking you acroheads for some help.

Picked up this little guy at a shop but failed at my first rule: know the care requirements for each animal before buying. Doesn't look like a tenius or a tortusa. Maybe granulosa?

Anyway, trying to figure out general placement in tank as space is getting tight. What do you all think?

Well just start it like the rest. lower light then gradually move to where it is happy.

Looks like a smoothie to me

Boxes going out today

Looks like I managed to get a brown box this time. Better make sure my water change brute is at the right temp to hold corals while I place others

Whats the deal with brown vs white?
