Coral Placement

Recommended Posts

I have a 29g Biocube with a Kessil a360ne lighting it. I am at the point where adding corals is next on the list.

My aquascape roughly stacks in 5 tiers.

1. Very top - 2" to 5" from top of water
2. High- 5"- 9" from top
3. Mid - 9"- 13" from top
4. Low 13"- 17"
5. Sand bed

I am having difficulty figuring out what corals would be best for each tier. The Kessil light can put off a ton of light, likely more than I will ever use in in this size of tank. It is listed at 18" surface diameter by 4' to 5' penetration. My light is about 9" above the water line.

I am open to any corals, but I do like hammers/frogspawn/torch, zoas/palys, mushrooms, and am interested in SPS and harder to keep corals in the future. I currently have a couple zoa frags a mushroom and some GSP on the sandbed waiting to be placed. I have seen zoas and GSP at the top of tanks and the bottom.. how do I know what is best?

Any suggestions, tips?

I start all my corals on the bottom and work them up. When they stop opening up as much i bring them back down.

what he said, you have to acclimate them to the light, and with the amount of light you have they will probably bleach
