Hello everyone
I ask... Do your fish need light in a reef tank while your tank is cycling?
 
Ecoscape Reef Rock
Technically no, but my fish tend not to eat when the lights are off.
 
TY... since I'm in the cycle - I only turn on my lights to feed, then the lights go off.

WHEN PLANNING CORAL PLACEMENT, WHAT USUALLY WINS? THE FUTURE COLONY, OR THE NEXT FRAG?

  • I leave plenty of open space for large future colonies

    Votes: 3 21.4%

  • I plan for growth...but occasionally squeeze coral into tight spaces

    Votes: 5 35.7%

  • I try to balance future growth with variety now

    Votes: 4 28.6%

  • I fit in as many frags as I reasonably can

    Votes: 3 21.4%

  • One more frag always wins! Future me can solve the problem...

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the coral and how quickly it grows

    Votes: 1 7.1%

  • I squeeze 'em in! Survival of the fittest, baby!!

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • I’m already out of room, so apparently we know my answer...
