Artificial Rock and Corals

jbrody1214 · 01/27/2006, 10:23 PM

I am looking for some artificial rock and coral to supplement my 125 gallon tank. I love the looks of corals but do not want to upgrade to MH lighting to support the corals. I also do not want to get rid of my puffer and triggers that would feast on any real corals. I am looking for some nice stuff, not the cheapo stuff you find at Petco. Any help?

You can use real live rock just not real corals.

I have seen these in stores around here, they look real. I have seen them in a reef tank with other real corals and it's hard to pick them out at first glance.

i have a figure 8 puffer and dont have any problems with him eating corals. the only issue i have is when i add a new one he bumps it a couple times. live rock should be ok for sure though as far as i know.

I realize I can and do have live rock in the tank. I just want to add some solor and corals are a great way to do it. I know the triggers will nip at the live corals becise they have nipped at all of the small corals on my rock. The lighting is also an issue.
