Frogspawn

Just got this beaut tonight! Any recommendations on care for it? I have the fluval evo 13.5 tank. Thanks reefers.

I have the same tank that I took over. With the stock lighting it was great for softies. We upgraded the light to the regular current orbit marine light and we now have two BTA's and our chalice's do great under the light as well. I'm not positive the stock light in the hood will support euphyllia coral long term. As far as that species goes for care, medium light and low to moderate indirect flow has done well for us.

I recently upgraded the light to the current orbit as well.

We keep ours at 70% white and 100% blue. So far that has worked well but it's not set in stone. You'll be able to keep that coral happy with that light. We also added a hydor nano power head for a little extra flow at the surface. That's a beautiful frogspawn BTW

Can I ask you how did you set your lights up manually. I haven’t been able to figure that out. The preset times are not good in my opinion.

The timer on the remote is difficult so I just manually turn on the light and set the white and blue at their percentages.

I have the current orbit pro. The instructions are unintuitive and hard to understand, but if I can figure it out anyone can. I have my blues at 100% and white never above 30% because algae grow faster with high white and red spectrum.

I think I set it up manually... (tried again) fingers crossed the lights come on tomorrow morning at 10am..

Just double check the on time and you'll know for sure

Does this look normal?

Looks like it is doing well. Leave it on the bottom for a few days and gradually move it to where you want it.
