Some advice

[calvo15290]

Okay so someone is giving me a frag of ora red plant aside from my iodine being a bit high all the water perams are spot on ! Side note its a lot easer than keeping a 10 gallon haha anyways I'm still on the fence about it with my lights what do y'all think ? Keep it or give it to the critter or any of y'all want it?

My advice is to tell this person to keep that specimen. If you can't house a certain animal don't accept it.

Just don't go overboard with sps and get a lot of high end one just to make sure you can keep them

That's what I'm trying I'm most likely going to just get a monti cap because I like the growth Pattern and keep the birds nest as my sps I'm going to keep it easy till I'm able to advance which will take some time


Andrew calvo

 

[p woodard]

You will know in a about 3 to 4 months if they are alive and growing you may be able to keep sps
