Coral placement

SDboatguy · Jan 31, 2019

I just got a couple frags and I’m wondering about flow and light. I know every tank is different, but I’m looking for a starting point. I got a Hawkins echinata , ATL Jolene and a red dragon. Any options are welcome and appreciated.

Personally I use a Par meter determine light conditions of coral; flow can be tricky and have to see how corals respond. All of these corals need high and strong water flow so top is best; 200-350 par readings with strong water movement. Need strong lighting so I would aim for 250 par at least on all these corals.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
