marinebiologist Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 ill do that. any suggestions on the next coral? i probably wont get it till the end of the month though. Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 hmmm, that's a tough one, I would definitely say check out the beginner corals, like softies such as mushrooms and leathers and zoanthids. the only problem is that most mushrooms and zoas are rather fast growers and can over run a tank, my Local Fish store is over run with Xenia, white and silver, and button polyps and Green star polyps. but as your tank matures you can keep clams and lps with your strong lighting. permitting that you water quality is perfect check out my thread on the last page I have a Front tank shot, my tank is full of all the EASY corals.

Nanobuds Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 zoas, frogspawn, mushrooms, rics, hammer, torch (my favorite), or some type of mushroom leather. Link to comment

marinebiologist Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 a lot of people are getting 150w fixtures for their 12 gallon. can i keep any coral with 70w or should i have gotten the 150w Link to comment

You may just have to be more careful about placing "high" light corals higher in the tank. Link to comment
marinebiologist Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 thnx. and what do you think about me getting a clam. is it possible for me to keep one successfully? are they hard to keep? Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 thnx. and what do you think about me getting a clam. is it possible for me to keep one successfully? are they hard to keep? I'd give the tank more time to mature. Link to comment
hxcaquaman Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 yea definitely wait it out on the clam Link to comment

Gerber77 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 No gorilla glue will not be safe. Find some glue with the main ingredient Cyanoacrylate. Link to comment
