Zeal0201 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi everyone new to the hobby been in it almost 2 months now. SUper excited and im obsessedddddd. Recently got a bunch of coral over the span of 2 weeks and everything is doing AWESOME. But I have a couple questions... Salt hovers around... 1.025-1.026 Water temperature hovers around... 78/79 usually 79.2 to be exact. Lights... Radeon XR15W Pro Gen 4 running the Coral Lab template SPS PHX 14 with greens and reds at 5% from 9AM to 6PM Corals I have are.. Trumpet Coral Favia Acan Ricordea Zoas Blastomussa Kenya Tree Discoma mushroom Alveopora And some type of encrusting coral Im currently spot feeding all my corals every Wednesday/Sunday with all pumps off. Their diet consist of.. A half a tablespoon reef-roids mixed with gut loaded bring shrimp, I squish it just enough for the coral to eat. (Spot fed using 11ML syringe) 5ML of Aquavitro Fuel Red Sea Reef Energy A/B 2.5ML (Just started it today) Poseidon Fury (3,000) OceanMagik Live Phytoplankton (4 species) Nano Brine Live Baby Artemia (500) Not sure what else im missing... Edit: I have a Nuvo 40G, I added refugium into one of my chambers with Cheato, and live rock. Hopefully the Copapods do the dirty in there and replicate! Edit:: Refugium has been going for 2 weeks. Today I added the Copapods. (Cheato is growing) Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hello and welcome Congrats on the tank. Salinity stability is key. You want one number so either 1.025 or 1.026. Are you using a refractometer to read it? Topping up daily to the sane spot with help the salinity stay stable. Temp is fine. I feed corals sparingly. What they don't consume becomes waste which leads to algae. I feed reef roids 1 time a week broadcast feed a day before or day of waterchange. I also spot feed lps pellets or mysis If you plan on fish, it's not necessary to over feed corals Quote Link to comment
