OHH i forgot mushroom and zoanthid is finally opening up!!!

Question: What type of flow do zoanthids like? mushroom? frogspawn? hard coral( it has like eyes that come out of it(will take pics tomorrow))

 

[NanoReefer]

the hard coral will like extremely high flow and zoanthids and shrooms prefer med to low flow:) and be careful it seems your adding stuff really fast.

Ya I know what you mean but since I turned in the tang I had store credit that I was only able to use during that time. Plan on waiting another week before adding anything else.

With corals and inverts, you can add as much or as many as you want without waiting. With fish, you should wait 3-4 weeks until adding more to allow the tank time to adjust for the higher bioload. For the hard coral, there are two types LPS and SPS. LPS will prefer a gentle to moderate flows, and SPS will like buggers flows.

Does anyone know what that red stuff is on that frag? lol


HArd coral forgot the name...


Frogspawn my new favorite!!!!


KK im new and wanted to know if this caulerpa looked okay?


Should i put this in my dt to get more flow( currently have 1400 gph just powerheads)

 

[NanoReefer]

i would put that in the sump and run a bag of aquaclear 50 carbon you have enough flow

 

[liga]

Hey little can you help me by telling me where i should place my corals and the amount of flow?

 

[liga]

thanks, how is the carbon gonna help the reef? I thought it removed nutrients?

 

[liga]

Ohh I also forgot to ask how should my powerheads be place? What should be the height and what side. I was thinking of getting between another 30 dollar Frag or a 30 dollar powerhead. O have 2 korelias right now each have 750gph. Right mow they are facing each other in the upper top

 

[NanoReefer]

the carbon is mainly for looks, it will remove some impurities in the water and help make your water clear. those frags were 30??

 

[little_fish]

I personally wouldnt run the mechanical filter at all. If you need to, you can run it for a week at a time to polish your water or remove some toxin, but i wouldnt run it 24/7.

Also, what corals do you have? Mushrooms like low light, low flow so put them on the bottom somewhere.

That is a great amount of flow for your tank too. Just make sure that one powerhead is rippling the surface.

+1 on the Aqua Scaping. Lookks great!!!
On the mushroom coral. I just bought one Saturday also, my LFS told me not to worry if it closed up and didnt come out for a day or two.. Like Fish said its getting used to tank. Mine came out right away amazingly but you shouldn't worry. It should be fine!!!

 

[liga]
