    Yeah, they are certainly one of the easiest beginner corals,and dont cost a fortune so if you fail its not a massive financial loss. just remember though that the key to healthy corals is not so much what your parameters are but the stability of them. eg. Some people have low alkalinity friend...

    Mushrooms are a good start, very easy, just be careful cause they spread like weeds, we have them popping up everywhere now, wish we had contained them to once rock a little better, but we didnt know. They are very aggressive to other corals too. I would start with maybe a torch plate coral ...

    Hi at @Kristin1234 . Thank you. Your tank looks like its relativity new ? We had a foxface just like yours but it started eating all our corals, so he found a new home very quickly, too scared to try another one, corals are very expensive here. Are you looking forward to some coraline coloring...

    Do you have any other Aussies ? I have noticed that your shop special prices are amazingly cheap compared to what we pay for things here in aussie. Whish I lived over there now. Where are most of your users from ? Things are very expensive over here, corals, fish and hardware.

    We have just placed the order. Guy is going to collect all fish over the next 4 weeks & place into holding tank together. Will make sure all are eating & observe for any unusual aggressive ones. And send us video for our approval before shipping to us. We will be adding them all together. So...

    Adding multiple tangs !

    thanks, if you both honestly don't think it will be a problem with corals and clam I will give it a shot. I would love to hear more opinions on the fish list side of things too. very open to being criticized as well if anyone thinks it necessary. I will listen. lol

    Adding multiple tangs !

    Would my corals. & clam be ok with lights out for that long. ?? After the tank upgrade we did have a mini cycle and seachem prime & stability pulled us through with no losses. To be honest we are not overly concerned about mini cycle as we are about new fish list being impossible to keep...

    Adding multiple tangs !

    Thanks for the suggestion, trouble is the tank contains some 50 or so corals & very expensive clam. , would be very worried about no lights for that time frame. we did think about egg crate but honestly think it may cause more aggression with 2 yellows & lipstick in half the tank and all new...

    Adding multiple tangs !

    Thank you, but we are looking at adding these fish ALTOGETHER at one time, We obviously have tried the slow approach one at a time and its not working, powder blue is supposed to be one of the last fish added - well that didn't work We believe we have enough bacteria to support these new...

    Good bacteria on live rock works just as well in sump as it does in DT. The more surface area for it to live the better. I also have. 2 kg of matrix stones in sump as well. Seems to be no rule these days for lb per gallon Open scapes have a huge advantage with regards to nitrates and...

    The maintenance doesn't take that long really, reactors all easy screw release, with tap connector pump attached. about 15 mins for all 3. The new Tunze Galss cleaner has cut the glass cleaning time down to about 10 mins inside & out. I suppose its when you let it go it becomes a problem then...
