Room Tank.

I have a 24" L, 17" D, 13"W tank that I am gonna sit here in my bedroom.

I don't really have anything for it sept 8-10 lbs of LR, gonna buy a 150W compact for it here this week and get it all up and running. Once I do, I plan on putting some soft corals and a few fish in it.

Any ideas on some corals to put in?

I've already got some Colt, Frogspawn, Xenia, and some GSP that I am gonna sort through and place about, but, does anyone have some real good suggestions to contribute to making my tank even more bangin'?

May want to think twice about putting bedroom....

Most systems can get pretty noisy. :-/

 

Eh.. I'm young enough. I can take the pain! Haha. Thank you though.

 

Thanks for the awesome ideas everyone! I'll be sure to check out my local guy and see if he has any. I definitely want to try some of that Sun Coral. Looks absolutely gorgeous.

=) Thanks again for the suggestions.

 

Keep in mind that sun corals (Tubastraea) must be spot
fed, I do mine every other night. This is an old picture of
3 mine, they are really pretty.



Some of the most colorful and easiest to take care of
are the Zoo's





or the Florida Ricordia's, this one has split into 4 since
this picture was taken.



and with 150 watts of light you should have no problem
keeping Candy Canes (Caulastrea) like these.





these also should be spot feed, they were looked rather
hungry when I took this picture.

 

I like my chilli coral, and all lps. The candycanes will catch food as the tank is fed. No need to spot feed those as you are just adding needless nutrients to the tank. The suncoral on the other hand needs to be fed pretty often.

 

I usually spot feed with a needless syringe, i take these blocks of frozen krill or brine, and dissolve it in a glass of my tank water, then suck it up with the syringe and then feed my corals directly in their mouths. I think that's what you mean by spot feeding, I am pretty tired so excuse me haha.

Thanks for all these great suggestions everybody!
