Since I know people on this board are full of vast knowledge, can you guys and gals help me with information on coral keeping.
Basically I need to know what you have to do different than just keeping fish. I have a 75gal that I want to convert to a reef. Right now the only inhabitants are a sailfin tang, naso tang, arrow crab, and a rock anenome. The tank has the following equipment:
2 Emperor 400
250W Titanium heater
Prisim Skimmer
Power Filter (not sure which kind)
75-100lbs of LR
CC substrate
Right now I have normal flourescents but just purchased a power compact lighting system with four bulbs and moon lights, total of 260W.
1) Can anyone suggest some easy beginner corals to get?
2) What kind of additives to you have to add to the tank?
3) I have heard something about calcium?? Not sure about all of that.
4) What do you feed the corals?
Basically, real beginer questions for corals. Any help is greatly appreciated. By the way the tank has been up and running for over 2 years. Thanks in advance.
