So I'm finally starting

[Coel]

So now that I have a light worth using, when can/should I get corals? I know I'm missing a lot of algae from the rocks yet but that should come in on the plugs right? I also ask because I have a single head duncan in my nano I would like to move before getting others kind of as a test coral.

 

[Khij159753]

You should be good

 

[Coel]

So what's the deal with acans? I'm trying to plan my trip to the frag swap in January

 

[Khij159753]

I like them. Just kinda a cool coral. Pretty hardy in my experience. Need decent light but not TONS. It's moderate.

 

[Coel]

Would my lighting work?

 

[Khij159753]

What kind of lights are they?

 

[Coel]

4x39w t5 ho 2 10k and 2 actinic

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah. They should be fine under those.

 

[Coel]

Thanks I think I'll request some then, atleast 1 to try

 

[Khij159753]

Yeah. Try with one. Then move on to some more

First corals I transferred them over from my nano

First two are Duncans and the third is a Jason fox zoa I got at a frag swap

 

[Khij159753]

Other than the concern for left over food breaking down, is there any reason to not aggressively feed a Duncan coral? I was planning on 1 mysis feeding every 5 days or so but I read that they will grow more of well fed. Thanks and ill post a video of them feeding soon

 

[Khij159753]

The duncuns at my lfs get fed every time the fish get fed.

 

[Coel]

Nice, right now I'm just using mysis but I was thinking of getting reef chili from brs or a bit supplement to soak he mysis in

 

[Coel]

So odd question, since my tank is small I was thinking of buying acrylic and building a hob fuge and dropping my hob filter for just skimmer and fuge. Any recommendations a for what is needed and how to build?
