I am fixing to begin an upgrade to a 120 and will be doing pillars for the aquascaping. I just wanted to check on some of my corals to make sure i am putting them in the best possbile place for them. Below is my list and wanting to know where i should put them:::: sand, bottom, middle, top ???


large eye favia
war coral
frogspawn
superman montipora
acan

just looking for some opinions here... thanks

Superman-top
Acan-sandbed to middle
Frogspawn-middle
War coral-middle-top
Large Eye Favia-middle to top
^Thinking that you have average PAR with those t-5s on that tank.

yeah not sure what im pulling with the t5's but i have the nova extreme pro fixture and will be adding another 4 bulbs strip to the setup when i upgrade to the 120 soon. so i will have 10 bulbs on a 120.
thanks again

Second that. Most your corals are not too pick it on the light. The only thing is make sure the Acans are lower in the tank, those are picky.

i am so sad ... i got it from my lfs and it had a lil tissue recession but was recovered. they werent sure what was causing it. but seemed like it was fine now.

i guess that is til i put it in my tank cause it started on one head and moved to 3 others within 2 days.

and not my lfs fault all of their stuff is top notch and they have tons of georgeos acans. i was thinking maybe it seemed okay and had recovered in their system. but maybe hte move to mine was too much and it started back up. ??? i dunno.

but he was nice enough and said not to worry he would take care of me
