Crakeur Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 sps = small polyp stony corals. acropora, montipora, anacropora, stylophora etc. corals under twin 32 watters? zoos, shrooms, xenia, leathers, Link to comment
Physh1 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 other ones that will help ya.... LPS = large polyps stonies like torch, hammer, frogspawn softies = leather corals like fingers, colt, etc zoos = zooanthids (very hot deal right now) Cameron Link to comment
Jahkaya Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 c'mon crak, you should give him more than softies in there. LPS are fine as well as Monitpora. There are other sps that will work, but water quality, flow, feeding as well as placement will play big part in what you can have. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I wasn't saying he should put any sps in there. however, given the twin 32's, he could probably do monti's, pocillopora possibly (say that 3 times fast), many lps and an acro might fare fairly (alliteration king!) if placed very high up towards the light but I wouldn't risk it.

Jahkaya Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Can you say "rapid tissue necrosis" three frags fast? I know you can. I agree with you on the acros, with the exception of possibility a youngei. My acros have not had that spectacular of growth under 300w of VHO in the 20. Okay but nothing to write crak about. Two PC's without attention to water quality could prove fatal. Link to comment
