It's time to put some corals in your tank. We recommend you start with forgiving soft corals before you move on to the rest. Know what your getting into when choosing soft corals. In this video we discuss which corals you should start with, which ones you should avoid and why!
► Pro Tips
Corals Caution Needed - Pulsating Xenia, Green Star Polyps, Sponges, Mushrooms.
Zoa/Palytoxing Poisoning is Real - Never boil/cook rocks for any reason.
Photosyntheic corals don't need to be feed coral foods.

Hands down one of the best reefs I've seen. Love how aquarium astgetics are tied into the room.

Videos are helpful..Not easy to mix soft corrals with hard. Never been successful with sponges or many hard corrals

I found a case where it became airborne from the cdc. I don’t want to scare people. Just be careful when handling zoas. I just got into them and it’s well worth it. Don’t be afraid, just understand palytoxins and research your corals. I’m also a beginner too, but just be wary of what you’re getting into.

How do GSPs spread? Do they release spawnlings into the water or do they spread outward from the center. Is it in all directions at the same pace? Or is it another way completely.

My first coral that I'm going to introduce in my ST are Zoas, specifically Joker and Darth Mauls. Pricey, but they are forgiving. I'll introduce monty-caps last, or among my last.

Technically if you have a DC pump, you could run some of the speaker wire out of your receiver into the negative and positive wires that would be your going into your outlet. If you actually wanna persue that, I can go into more details just hit this reply up and I'll give you my snap

you guys still acclimate corals? I just dip them in revive and plop it in the tank. ZERO death. IMO corals are hardier than fishes.

between redsea coral pro and aquaforest reef salt which is more suitable for soft coral tank

@Saltwateraquariumdotcom 2 жыл бұрын

Both will work fine. For a soft coral tank I'd also look at Fritz RPM and save $$$.
