Reef Frags

What reef frag can I put in a 10g aquarium? I was looking into good colors and fair price.

Depends on your lighting

I have a 10 gallon nano, first SW ever. i have two reefsun compact fluorescent 50/50 bulbs in place of the incandescent lighting. Im succesfully having Frogspawn, mushrooms, zoas, and a cabbage leather.

What is it?

Yes it would be very helpful to state exactly what lights you have?

Marineland single bright led lightning system.

No corals can survive under that lighting. Look into t5 fixtures or quality leds like a par38 bulb

That light 'might" be enough for some softies but I doubt much more than that. So zooa's and leathers pretty much....mushrooms too/......

I can't grow low light plants under that fixture in fw. I doubt it can support any marine photosynthetic life

Thank you for the advice before I go out and waste money on some frags!

Could you send me a link to a good light fixture for a fair price and for a 10g aquarium?

That is great I will get those sometime this week but what kind of soft coral do you think I can get that can last in a 10 for its entire life?

 

[bribo12]

Zoas, mushrooms, Xenia

 

[Patrick_Fish]

What about hard? Or what do you call them?

 

[Patrick_Fish]

Zoas, mushrooms, Xenia

You could do lps (large polyp stony) like acans, hammer, frogspawn , torch, Duncan's, brain corals, trumpet corals, etc
