Hello!
When it comes to choosing SPS - how do you choose?
I've had soft corals in the past for a few years but I'm wanting to try SPS.
I picked up a bird's nest coral from the LFS and have him sitting on the sand right now. The tank is 47 x 22.6 and I have two Kessile A360We's on it.
So far the bird's nest seems to be doing good - but I'm still learning what to look for and how quickly I can move it to where I want it to ultimately be / what intensity I should run the lights at / etc.
I have no issues adding more lighting down the road if I need [likely another A360WE or two as I like the minimalist look] and I have no issues with dosing. With just the one coral frag which is small I'm just watching the parameters but I know that once I have more than a few I'm going to have to do something about alk/cal/mag/etc. Kalkwasser in the ATO is likely one of the first things I figure I'd do.
