Look up bulb ideas. My favorite is the AB plus bulb configuration. All will grow corals just depends on your taste. I have three zoanthids two I would frag. Pm for pics

Do you sell any mushroom or any other soft coral? And I have a 36 inch 6 bulb T5 fixture what is your opinion on which bulbs I should put in there to grow the best corals and look appearance

I do sell from time to time but my stuff disappears pretty quickly. At the current time, I don't have anything but in a few months I'll have more frags again. I carry some cheaper generic softies but I also carry highend stuff like jawbreakers, rainbow jubilees and etc. I just like stuff that generally fluoresces intensely under blue lights.

Best bulbs for growth will be ones in the 400 nm ~ 470 nm range. Those are going to be your actinic and blue bulbs. The ATI Blue Plus bulb is a combination of both bulbs. I run 4 of those in my hybrid fixtures. If you don't like that much blue, you can use a few ATI aquablue special bulbs. These bulbs have red and green wavelengths mixed in making them whiter bulbs. Each person has a difference in what looks good to them so you'll have to mix match the bulbs till it favors what you like, however, the core of your bulbs should consist of bulbs heavy in the 400-470 nm range, meaning a lot of ATI blue + bulbs. I would do atleast x3 ati blue+ for an even spread.

There’s forums for Arkansas? May have to sign up for those. Ps Put me on the list for when you get another jawbreaker frag

Yeah, razorbackreef is used by reefers in central arkansas while in2deep was NWA.

As for jawbreakers I have about 10 cooking atm. They are the poletti strain. Red and green develope later on, like towards 6 months to a year. Small ones are much cheaper, especially since you have no idea what they can turn out to be.

Just moved these a few weeks ago to my 45 from my 20. Mother is in front, good amount red and some green.

I'll let you know when they are set.

$60-$300

It depends on size and color quality. A lot of folks like to buy them from me at about 1/2" ~$75, most of these are just teenager jawbreakers which are just mainly yellow and have not or may not develop red or green. Anything at $300 is a top notch adult jawbreaker ($600 market value), crazy amounts of red and green. However, most folks like to buy them small and gamble but even the ones that don't develop much red or green are still gorgeous. These things glow crazily under any bluish light.

But prices are never firm, people always end up buying a lot from me and I bulk price for them. So it could be even less than what I noted.

I love polenti’s I’ve been going back and forth on buying one but the cheapest I can find (for even smaller than a dime) is a hundred. And I don’t have that kind of money to spend rn.
