Pushing boundaries, seeing how far I can go..

So Needless to say, Eric got a little shop happy today....

Any info or experience would be awesome on these particular corals. They will be here friday!

 

Wow.... those are gorgeous.

Don't know a darn thing to help you.... but p-r-e-t-t-y.....

Haha Im not to worried bout the tree coral more so the acro.

 

I haven't delved into SPS yet.... soon. One step at a time.

Great looking buys, I have heard that the tree is a difficult coral to keep long term. Your purchases are at odds on the feeding curve lots for the tree and much less for the acro. Place the acro in the upper half of your rocks where it can get good water flow and light.

 

"Advanced care requiring a nutrient rich, high flow area and fed zooplankton foods"

colorful for sure, not sure I like the nutrient rich waters though

 

Pretty coral! The tree will probably be hard to keep alive long term, as said above. However...you have a lot of messy, poopy tangs...lol so it might just work!

My advice for the SPS is to place it high and in direct flow. Mine love to be blasted!

 

Put it high and it will grow.

 

I think sps are easier then most people think, there's just a stigma about them. I've had very little trouble with my sps which includes different types of acros, montis and stylos. The tree coral will be much harder to keep IMO, especially given that the sps needs a low nutrient environment.

 

Hey.. I know that coral... Almost ordered it myself.

Good choice of acro for your first SPS. Greens are much more resiliant, and that particular species is a fairly fast grower.

The tree coral will be difficult at best. They take an extreme amount of nutrients. Hopefully your tang stocking will help, but will most likely still need spot fed every day.
