Corals...please, need some advice - Aquarium Advice

SGT Henry · 02-27-2006, 05:46 PM

I was wondering which species of corals I could put in my 5 gallon Hexagon tank..it has live rock, live sand, a feather duster, and some mushrooms...I have it set up with a 10w 50/50 mini compact from coralife...Which other corals could I put in?.....Oh and i also have a mini powerhead in there which gives a nice current..not too strong and not too slow....I supplement the tank with Kent Marine Nano parts A and B which give all the necessary elements plus trace elements

any help appreciated thanks

Mushrooms is about the only thing I would do in that setup due to low light.

I would also suggest you stop adding supplements. You have nothing in the tank that is depleting anything at any type of rapid rate. Your water changes will supply everything that is needed.
