[d.french]

love soft corals, sps seem to always turn white on me so i stick with leathers and shrooms, zoas, palys, polyps, and gorgonians.

 

[Alexander]

i have always been scared of gorgonians. heard they dont do well. have you had problems with them at all?

 

[d.french]

nope i just make sure there photosynthetic kinds that live on light they seem to be easy to care for.

 

[d.french]

here is pic of my long polyped gorgonian.

 

[Alexander]

and apparently not as much light is as needed as sps?

 

[d.french]

all these pics are 2 to 3 months old tanks are lookin better and rearranged but i can't find camera charger so gonna try to get some new pics by this weekend.

 

[d.french]

gorgonian don't need a ton of light but mine like t5's

 

[Sunshine]

How on earth do you take care of 2 big tanks, I have enough trouble taking care of one.

 

[d.french]

softies are more forgiving that sps and lps can be a pain sometimes but i love saltwater tanks my 75 gallon is computer room next to my desk and 125 gallon is in living room. I can sit and watch tanks for hours as long as i got some captain morgan and dr. pepper near by than i'm set.
