Beginner in corals...

[mbnum2]

Just bought a leather and some zoos for my 55 gall. I currently am running a Power compact light. I was wondering what kind of care is needed for these two corals. I know they are beginner corals so not much care or feeding is needed. Is there anything I can add to the water to help them flourish? Any help would be much appreciated

just add trace elements into your water changes and keep your levels normal

what are trace elements...

 

[ric maniac]

they are the elements that are essential to a reef (i have no idea how to explain them so maybe someone will chime in and tell you.) kent marine makes it and the directions should be on the bottle, just add the trace elements to the water for the water changes.

I have to disagree with you ric_maniac NEVER add anyting unless you can test for it.Doing the water changes will replenish the trace elements in your system.

 

[ric maniac]

ya, i meant if you can test for it. very sorry. i would NEVER add anything i cant test for. sorry for the missunderstanding.

yea no problem,Also be aware when you buy kent marine,Most of the bottles have the same ingredients just labeled different.Read em before you buy all the bottles like i did lol
