FishBro Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Do a TEK, more bulb options, I think there is a 24" model. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Do a TEK, more bulb options, I think there is a 24" model. well, i think i would be switching the stock bulbs out anyway... so a fni might be better. Link to comment

I hate super blue. Looks unlike the ocean. My advice is to go with 50/50s so you get some vibrant colors, but you get more of an ocean look. Make sure you have tons of flow in there, like a wavemaker, and some corals like xenia to show the current. Do the rest with husbandry. When I received my first SPS, they were browned out. They looked good under my lights though. With TLC, they were amazingly colored and people were pretty jelly. I didn't like my Phoenix 14K now that I look back on it. Made everything look very washed out TBH. Go with what you like though. Link to comment

Jacob042426 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 im kinda concerned about the lifespan of a tuberculated. they only live like 6 months or so, and i dont have any experience. should i just go with a. maculatus? Link to comment

How big is this tank going to be? If it will big enough and have proper filtration, I don't see why not. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 How big is this tank going to be? If it will big enough and have proper filtration, I don't see why not. total volume: 14.5 gallons display: 13 gallons it will have a small protein skimmer and tons of macros. Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Why the heck would you get a fish that only lives 6 months? That's just plain stupid... Link to comment
