lps coral

Im curious about what parameters are recommended for keeping SPS, LPS, and soft corals together. I know that LPS like nitrate at 10-15, SPS would prefer it at 3ish, while soft corals prefer dirtier water. What parameter would work best? Also I know that lighting and placement is very important...

Hi there, I have a 100gal LPS dominated mixed reef which has been set up for 2.5 years. 9 months ago I brought a lovely Acanthophyllia that settled in well and has been doing great until the last 2 weeks. I have noticed it is no longer inflating fully or feeding - I think it might have a...

Hello. Got a question about hammer coral as this is my first time having one. I know they prefer moderate light and flow and while I thought I was providing that it seems maybe it was still a little to much. Some of the polyps retracted back into the skeleton. Since then I’ve dialed things in...

Hey guys what is the LPS that is circled here? We can’t figure it out. It’s not mine I did not buy it not knowing what it is. A friend has it and believes it’s an acan but it looks like a rarer color of candy canes to me that I’ve never seen .

Good evening, I have had this bleeding apple for about 2 years I have been moving it around trying to make it happy. It won't eat. Water permainters do not fluctuate and are spot on. Never have missed a weekly water change. I have another scoly who is doing just great. I dipped the bleeding...

When I first got my hammer coral it was fully open and I got deployed and had my wife feed and do my water changes. When I came back home I realized that the middle of the coral would be retracted but the outsides would be open. I also noticed that it was in the process of splitting into two...

I'm looking to do an LPS only tank. What does everyone use for amino acids for the LPS corals? I'm thinking about using one of the following products: CoralAmino Restor AcroPower (only for sos?) Red sea ab+ (fridge) KORALLEN-ZUCHT Thoughts?

I have a 90 gallon Aquarium what would be a good flow rate in GPH? I plan to do soft and LPS Coral

I have the Fluval Flex 32.5, and I have been struggling to find what light to buy for an LPS and Soft coral tank. I’m on a budget of $1,400, which seams like a lot at first, but I keep forgetting that fish and coral are expensive. The light I landed on is the NICREW 150W Aquarium LED Reef Light...

Hi everyone! I’m new here hoping to connect with people and learn new things. Share my nano tank.

Had this torch mid last year as one head, and slowly growing, the tissue at base receding just happened two day ago wondering is it not happy or splitting? All other torch in the tank has no sign of receding.

I bought a guys livestock because he was shutting the tank down and in there was this torch. Unfortunately it's definitely receding. Color is still good and it'll still eat when directly fed, I mean as much as a torch will. I guess I'm looking to see if anyone has successfully saved a torch...

So I’m not sure why or how to troubleshoot but I have a 2 frogspawn both decking in health everything else looks good in tank Params aren’t bad either not sure on where to start on troubleshooting. It’s a mixed tank along with torches and hammers that are all doing completely fine, so why just...

Hi everyone! I’m currently looking at my reefs stock and trying to find the general “rule” for stocking reef tanks. For context I have a 164L 36 gallon tank with a sump, skimmer, live rock, refugium and it is 2 years old, i’m still slightly newer to corals so it’s a whole new ballpark! i’m...

How much Nitrate in an LPS and Softie dominant tank is considered too high? Mine are between 20 - 50 ppm and after spending months with Nitrate at 0, I am not sure if I want to lower it.

Hello All I wanted to get some feedback on my tank and perhaps why a few of my corals are showing stress. My Bicolor Candy Cane is barely hanging on while the other two are starting to show their skelton on the edges. My zoa's, polyp's, mushrooms all seem to be doing okay. Here is what I tested...

In my most recent Reef this is my first addition. Build thread coming soon. "Show me what you got!"

Does anyone know what this coral is? I bought this at my local lFS today and the owner didn’t know what it was as well. I was thinking maybe a favia or chalice of some sort, but not sure.looks awesome though (pretty big)

Hello, I have a wall hammer in my tank, that has been doing well so far (fingers crossed). However, I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that there's a section of it turning like a dull gray color. Anyone know why? Par is about 130 Salinity 34 Phosphate was high (0.38) but dosing...

Hi everyone, I just added a display refugium to my main tank, and since then both my LPS, torch and acan aren’t opening. All my softies (other than my mushroom) are all open and doing great, same goes for my montipora. I thought it could be flow at first but I adujsted the outtake to match the...
