Newb planning for coral soon

[NoWaiAma]

current plan is Aussie Duncan, toadstool , radioactive dragon and extraterrestrial zoas, gsp on the back wall maybe.

Thinking of introducing if everything is still stable at the 2-2.5 month mark while clowns are still in quarantine. Thoughts ?

rather not dose but we’ll see. Feeding needs ?

Sounds like a good plan, as for feeding I’d give the Duncan’s some mysis here and there.

Perfect. That’s what I feed the two fish currently. Needs spot fed?

They'll pick up bits if you have decent flow but spot feeding never hurts. My Duncans do just fine from my normal feeding.

Heads up on the GSP - I tried the wall thing and it covered about 1/3, now it just tries to spread to the rockwork. You will never be rid of it once it's in the tank! If you plan to go through with it try to attach several frags of it spread out to encourage good coverage.

Will it do this if rock if 2” away from the wall? I really really love how it looks in flow but I don’t want it consuming my tank. Otherwise I’ll banish it

It won't start trying for a looong time most likely. Even when it does it's just a matter of trimming the mat back every here and there (maybe once a month for me). You just have to not forget and let it take over a rock of expensive palys...

Thanks bud !

 

[NoWaiAma]

You just cut it off with a razor? Trash it? Give to a friend ?

 

[hwntunda]

As for gsp nice to look at but ,I’d Try just keeping it on a rock away from any main scape and as it spreads along the sand you could just cut and relocate it or give away. once it gets to your main rock work it’s a nuisance/Pia to remove IMO unless it’s mat comes off clean ( mostly unlikely ) it will just keep growing.

Didn’t know it was that bad.. crap

It doesn’t spread fast, but if it does take hold of your main rockwork, it’s just more work to remove off of the piece it grew to. If it’s new growth it should come off easily depending on rock porosity.

Thinking I may attach to back wall and the instant I see it touch the sand or rock snip snip.
