[ahayes13]

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 :)
