deep water corals

sidd129 · 08/30/2006, 01:01 AM

I have a question. Do they need a different temp or anything? I know that they need less light but I would like to here from more than one source that they will be okay in with the rest of my reef.

Thankyou,

Adam

What they need is more pressure- something difficult to recreate in a reef tank. I haven't had much luck with mine, although it's alive still.

How deep are we talking about here?
if you mean like those deep water acros, lps and such deep they should do just fine with all parameters in check and like you said they would probbably be adabted to less light.
