Re: Best flow for soft corals

For real, my softies love reef roids. But keep the flow low when feeding, or it's gonna blow all over the place. Messy vibes.

Re: Best flow for soft corals

Yo, my softies dig random flow. Try setting one MP40 to lagoon mode at 20%. Adds some variety without blasting them. And yeah, check them nitrates, bro.

Re: Help with coral identification

I'd say it's an elegance, move it low or on the sandbed with gentle currents, feed a couple times a week. They can be tough to aclimate but once they settle in, they're pretty hardy.

Re: Help with coral identification

The top one looks like elegance, but I'm wondering if it's individual branches or a single skeleton.

Re: Is this elegance coral a good purchase?

If you're still considering it, I'd suggest trying to get the elegance to close up so you can inspect it more thoroughly for any signs of tissue recession. Although the Indonesian elegance aren't as hardy as the Australian ones, it's not impossible for them to thrive.

Re: selecting the right fish

Just wanted to update, I picked up a coflake beauty two days ago and everything seems fine so far. He's still hiding a lot, but whenever food comes near, I see him grab it. Had a pretty intense moment though - he actually took a swipe at my tang, but it's okay, the tang will be alright.

selecting the right fish

After losing my chromis, I'm down to four fish - kole tang, maroon clowns, and falco hawk. Just treated for red bugs, so invert-wise, I've got two turbo snails, two Marguerita snails, and possibly some Nass snails. Need something fairly aggressive, won't eat co flakes.

Re: is my blue tang doing poorly?

I think the issue might be with the mysis, and that you didn't introduce algae sheets from the start. As you know, tangs are herbivorous, so while they can have some meaty foods occasionally, their main diet should be algae-based.

Re: Duncan coral health issues

It looks bleached to me. I think moving it to the bottom, where the current's not too strong, might help. Medium current should be alright.
