Corals to put directly on a bare bottom tank??? - Page 2

miniwhinny · 01/16/2012, 08:04 AM

My tank is fairly new so I only have a few pieces of sympodium at one end, some acans in the middle and a sun coral at the other. The sun is new so it hasn't taken hold yet but it has nowhere else to grow than across my glass bottom

OK. I've added a couple of favia and a couple of green and red acans. Hope the favias look like Ivy's some day.

I'm just figuring out the camera and posting of the pics, so forgive the quality.

I'm looking forward to seeing them a little bigger!

Love the red favia, though!

When I use photobucket, I first resize my pictures to, say, 900 pixels wide with a program such as photoshop or picasa. Then I send them up to photobucket, and don't make any further modifications; I just post the photobucket link in my thread. Come to think of it, though, I think you can resize them with photobucket, also...

You can only see the glass when they are first set up, They are easier to clean. You will find most LFS always have BB tanks
