Kakani Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 For sps frag you don't need to move up slowly. Only colony need. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiraltian Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 And for colonies, wild ones especially, if u r intending to get them in future, it's better to coral dip them first to prevent introducing pests into ur tank as a primary measure.

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted February 24, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 24, 2014 For frags from reefer usually what I do is find out where they place the frag and how intensive is their light. From there you can adjust. Sometimes placing on sand bed might make ur Sps lose color as ur light intensity might be lower. For wild or cultured colonies usually I just place them at the highest.

SRC Member james72 Posted February 27, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 For frags, I would still check with the reefer his tank kH and acclimatize slowly if the delta is too great between my tank and his/her. For colony, remember to check the base for eggs, scrub them off, coral rx dip wont get rid of pest eggs. I had a tough time battling monti eating nudibranch when the eggs hatches. Lost couple of my fav encrusting montis. For placement I go by sps species. Strong light species will go up and accompanied by higher flow. 1 Quote Cheers, James Reviving my reef tank : Crystal glass 53" x 22" x 17" rimless (inclusive of 12"x22"x17" IOS) Life Reef HVS3-24 with mazzei venturi ATI Sunpower 8 x 39w T5 (4 x Blue plus, 2 x Aqua blue special, Coral plus) ZET Light 3 x 3w LEDs moonlight Arctica 1/3 Hp + 1/4 Hp back up Vortech mp40w x 3 + Jebao wp25 Eheim 1264 x 3 + water blaster 5000 Vortech back up battery TLF-150 + Rowaphos Activated carbon Kamoer 3 channel + CaCl2 + NaHCo3 150L Refugium with DSB, miracle mud, cheato 2ft T5 x 2 light tubes for refugium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
