So my light is finally set up and i am now looking to get my first coral. I am wondering what should i look for as being a total newbie to this? Do you know of any good articles I should read up on?
I LOOOOVE my ricordias they have an awesome look and various colors they are super easy as I am a noob too and my first one has doubled in size since I got it.
You are thinking of xenias, and they drop branches so keeping them on their own rock isnt a sure bet.
I would say coral dip is a must, treating for pests is pain in the a**.
And i personally am lazy and just toss the hardy stuff right in, after checking the salinities arent too different. Other wise i would acclimate them like you would any old fish or invert.
I do believe all of these are all good i just wanted to see what you all think. The ones i am really wondering about is the alkalinity, and the calcium.
