Hey Everyone
Recently set up my first salt water tank! Things seem to be going well so far. Just got my first couple fish in there about a week or so and they all seem to be acclimating well (except for a small Ich breakout on the Blue Hippo Tang which I hear is fairly common, but it's almost gone).
I was going to go to the store today and get my first pieces of coral for the tank. Considering its my first time keeping coral, just wanted to see if you wanted to share some helpful tips with keeping and growing coral.
Right now I have a 30 gal tank with 2 clownfish, blue tang, 2 cleaner shrimp, and a sand sifting star fish. About 17 lbs of live rock and run my white LED light for 6.5 hours a day and leave the blue light on for an hour longer.
So there it is, what are the top 3/5 tips you have for me to successfully grow coral?
Thanks!
