Oh I definitely have the bug I have been dying to try sps ever since I saw one. Yet, I'm the leading guy in knowledge about saltwater in my area so needless to say not much help here lol. Both of you are a great help, can I ask what test kit you use for nitrates? Or even just a good test kit in...

Plus I also don't think I have enough flow in the tank. I was thinking of putting a Koralia circulation pump on each end to give it the (chaos flow) that I read they need. Any suggestion on which size I would need? I was looking at the magnum 5-8 models.

Originally Posted by GatorWPB Hey there and thanks for asking, this is a good place to ask questions. Im not familiar with any guides really. To get an idea if your tank and system is ready for sps, we need to know more about the tank itself. How old is the tank?live rock 10+ years, sand 2...

I have a 150 reef tank and would like to try some SPS corals. Anyone have a good guide I could read? or am I better off giving specs and getting advice here? Also, please don't use many acronyms as I am still learning all of them

I'm correct in saying that they lost their zooxa. algae right? Now they did that when they came in and havn't gotten it back for 3-4 weeks now. Will it ever come back? is there anything I can do to help them regenerate the symbiotic algae? or will they just slowly die?

Being that this article was in 2002 and they are refering to a previous year apparently captive breeding has been going on since 2001. Thus, if you are willing to pay 1.5k to try your luck with them or better yet breed them. Have at it! Kerry Hall based on reporting by Robert Kovacik National...

Didn't know if there were any that were made to just hook on the aquarium or something :notsure:

Originally Posted by DragonZim It shouldnt be too much light. I'd wait on the chiller till you see how it effects your temperature. If your temp does go up, you could try a small fan blowing at the water surface. That should drop your temp by a few degrees. You'll just have to make sure you...

Originally Posted by thud I figured it would be easier to get online because I thought it was rare. Nah not at all I see them in all the time, them and the neon green version which people seem to prefer more for the color. It kinda ends up looking like a carpet of grass since it's green.

Originally Posted by saltn00b UV sterilzers kill both bad and beneficial bacteria and organisms. i never run it on a reef tank. Like he said... if you must run it as little as possible. Definately wouldn't run it for 24/7 at the most 12hr cycles
