1.5 Year Newbie - Coral Placement/Lighting/Flow thread :P

Eder · May 20, 2016

Hey all - Ive had my tank for a bit over 1.5 years. Recently changed from a canister to a sump. 95g total water.

I have searched and haven't found a thread of this sort so hopefully this can be a great thread for most of us coral rookies.

Ive gone through a lot of trial and errors and killed several and currently have just a few healthy ones.

So why not pose the question by making a list.

Type of Coral
- Recommended tank Placement (high, low, sand bed, wedged, rock, etc)
- Recommended Flow (high, low, intermittent)
- Recommended temp/parameters
- Recommended lighting (T5, LED, T5/LED, percentage, color)
- Recommended supplements (Phyto feast, oyster feast, Reef A+B, etc).

Feel free to add to my list. This may help us beginners to better with our corals since I am currently getting more into corals than my fish.

Thanks all for your presumable help and interest!

We actually have a coral data base that we are still filling up. Check out this link for all kinds of info on specific corals. It's a searchable database or you can just browse by pictures.
