SRC Member iskay Posted August 2, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted August 2, 2012 Normal progression path in terms of difficulty - soft corals, LPS, SPS, NPS. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash.

SRC Member MadScientist Posted August 2, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted August 2, 2012 Meaning it doesn't require light source?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Yes. It is difficult because it requires constant feeding, increasing waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrach Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Best to start with learning how to keep GOOD water... Once that has been mastered... The rest would be easy... The key with corals is first your water then lighting... I started with LPS and Soft... Have just moved to SPS...
