Aquarium Advice FINatic
i'm thinking of gettin a gsp, but i got a few questions, and i do realize that lots of people say they can take over a tank, but thats kinda what i'm goin for on my rocks. i'll try to put pics of my tank later, cuz the flash on the cam isnt workin.
First, do you need liverock to grow corals or no? i've just got lace rock in there now. i've seen on liveaquaria under the care for their corals, they recomend live rock. So i'd just like to know if you actually need it for gsp's
second...can you grow these under regular NO flourecent lights? or would i need to get some better lighting. Also, on lighitng, i'm confused...does it go NO as the lowest lighting, VHO next, and then PC's, and then metal halide being the best?
third and maybe last...what type of flow do i need for these guys? right now i've only got 2 aquaclear 301 (i think) powerheads. they're rated to 175 gph. This would be considered low waterflow corect? And the rock i'm thinkin of puttin the gsp on is right by a powerhead, so there would be more power to the flow right there. do i want the flow directly on it or no?
i think thats all i need now, but i'll prolly think of somethin later.
thanks
