Coral Placement Suggestions??
Hello,
I am 8 months in to this hobby and was wondering what advice you might have for the placements of the coral frags that I have. I attached a couple of pictures to see where they are now. I have a 5 gallon tank with 6 bulbs led lighting. The water temp is about 75-77 degrees. Here is a list of the corals that I do have: Duncan Hammer Trumpet Zoas Kenya Trees Xenia Green Star Polyps Green Button Polyps Thanks for the help! |

From the looks of it and from the info you posted, your tank is too cold (78-80 is a better range), too small and under lighted for most of what you have. My advice is to warm it up a few degrees, add some more light (what lights exactly are you using - trying to determine if they are the correct spectrum) and return everything you have other than the zoas, polyps and xenia.

Dont ever listen to ur lfs!! Post here!!! Sounds like generic lighting, go on ebay and get the whte and blue led 120w fixture its the easiest and cheapest and works awesome... Personally i made my lighting myself but my brother in law has the ebays and their pretty good for the $$

Thanks for the advice. I will get a better heater.
Here is the lighting that I have. Is this good enough? Marineland ML Double Bright LED Light, 24-Inch, 36-Inch |
