My tank is 1.25 yrs old. Years ago, I also had a reef tank but have never had an acro. I'm not looking to spend lots of money on a difficult coral. But, while ordering some critters, they had a good price on a green slimer frag and I figured I could try it. I have a 32g biocube with an AI Hydra 26 HD mounted in the hood (so close to water line). I haven't tested the PAR with the new light, but I think it should be OK as long as the frag is at the top. the spot I'm thinking about is right in the brightest part of the tank, only maybe 6" below water line (good idea? I'll post a picture of the spot shortly). I currently dose alk by hand at least several times a week and calcium as needed. I have dosing pumps arriving tomorrow to make this easier. I have an Icecap 1K gyre at max 30% and it's a lot of flow in the tank, plus a strong return pump. The gyre hits the spot I'm thinking of perfectly so it should have high flow and high light.
Frag arrived today, I dipped, and put it in the sand bed. Should I leave it there and slowly move it up? It was likely in higher light before. I feed Brightwell Coralamino daily and something else once a week (currently Reef Roids, but have something else arriving tomorrow to try). I also run a fuge in the back of the cube.
