we keep them under less light and they do just fine.......great corals.....make sure you buy a healthy one though Brad

with out a pic i can't really tell........but if it hasn't cast off its crown yet i would think its fine.... Brad

thanks very much Brad

dboy999: i have redone alot of stuff in my sump but it basically is still the same........i have the overflow bring water to my euro reef then it goes down into the fuge (or keeps going through baffles) and in my fuge gets skimmed once again by my tunze skimmer and claciuma nd alk are added and...

that clam is going to die if you don't upgrade your lighting

no doubtfully your clown........well there has to be something wrong with the water........try to figure out what is is......maybe listing some more specs of your tank we will be able to help better Brad

thats what i assumed.......i was just debating with bang guy.....you says they use more calcium then sps and was wondering what your results were.. Brad

out of curiosity how has your calcium level been......does it seem to be droping rapidly after adding the colt???????? Brad

its common sence........how many ppl can you name that have a calc reactor on a softy tank.....and how many can you name that have one on sps?????...........isn't it just general knowledge that sps ARE reef builders and use much more calcium than soft corals???? Brad

what chance?????? inless he already has fish in there???? Brad

is that directed towards me searching the board?................320 is fine for a soft coral tank....absolutely no ill effects other then a little less growth and not the battle to keep your coraline down.......many great japanese reef keepers (mostly all of them) keep their calc at that level...

for a softy tank the bioload is fine........also with the angler and lionfish your snails would not be bothered.........yes they do contribute alot of waste yet compared to a tang of the same size the waste is pretty much equal......i have seen and know ppl with this setup and they are very...

i completely disagree........if leathers contained so mcuh calcium how come they don't contribute very much to the reef structure.......also only a small % of there skeleton is made up of calcium......altho they grow faster than most peoples acros......sps will need more then double what a...

i think we have a guy that comes in sometimes that builds sumps and stuff.......want me to check it out for you??? Brad

torches are an indicator of water quility.....watch it for awhile and if not back out in a few days i would test and check everything for problems Brad

don't add it...........a revolutionary food that your tank would love is Cyclo-peeze........it is really really benificial......maybe every few weeks you could add phyto f you want too Brad

oh i noticed tank size....i would go with an angler, lionfish, and maybe something like a frogfish Brad

well it depends on what fish there are with him.........a nice reef safe agressive setup could be: Small Angler Lionfish Harlequin tusk and a tang that is MUCH bigger then angler Brad

my mh kick on right away....on a reef the sun comes up to close to its full power after about 30 min after it first apears on the horizon.....so a "morning" and "evening" lighting is hardly worth the trouble....and really not there on a real reef.....altho pleasing to the eye Brad

unless you have sps don't waste the money......softies do use calcium....but only in very small amounts.......just do weekly water changes and if your levels drop use E.S.V. B-Ionic Brad
