Have this rock covered in pink goo and then the coral grows on top of it

What is this and does it look healthy also what are it’s parameters as far as flow and light

Hey everyone so it’s looking a lot better today I think here are some pics

It's under some 165 watt galaxy hydro I bought for like 100 dollars and it seems to get the job done for the other corals but recently this greenish inner ring has appeared hopefully it prevails

I’d say a sump and run some hardcore filtration through there

Thanks! I really would like to sell it as it’s spreading onto other rock pieces like crazy and isn’t the coolest looking color also it emmits a strange ooze when I do a water change

So I don’t know anything about this coral but it’s been in my tank awhile and thrives on the light idek what’s it called or if it’s healthy but if someone could gimme the details on it and the value of it if I was to sell the whole piece of it

Oh the big 3 I test at home all the time and there always at 0 and my water changes are consistent I’ve tried moving it to 3 different spots I might just give up on it as this morning it’s looking even worse

Yea I just kinda let it sit in the Dip as I swooshed it around and a ton of stuff came off it so I thought that was a good sign for me to keep doing it I didn’t know it could hurt it

You sound like me man! My first freshwater was terrible I got a 10 gallon and the employee sent me home with fish in my hand before the tank was even filled up not to mention it was 15 inches of fish for a 10 gallon tank non cycled they all died and I was devasted eventually you learn little...

In my experience chocolate chip starfish causes a lot of problems in a reef tank so be weary

Yea that damsel died Rippppp my tanks all good now tho

Thanks for checking in! It’s going great everything cleared up the algae water is pristine I currently have 2 Mai tai clowns along with 10 Mexican turbo slugs I just added my first coral which isn’t going to well but I made another post on that....I’ve been looking into stocking some other reef...

For acclimating I did standard 1hr temp acclimation then 30min drip then I dipped it for about 30 mins

Been in tank 3 days it’s my first coral I’ve added the tanks been set up for 8weeks inhabitants are 2 clownfish and 10 snails I’ve tried moving around to 3 spots of tank even have attempted to target feed it when I had tested my water 3 days ago at my LFS the lady said everything checked out...

Hey everyone so recenlty I got this coral frag it was 10 bucks I can’t remeber the name of it but it’s extremely stressed and won’t open up any suggestions to help or is it dying my water is pristine and it’s in a low flow high light area

Well the live rock I purchased has some corals on it that are opening up quite well with the light so i thought I would keep it on also I have 1 damsel in there to help produce ammonia to cycle tank he is doing great very healthy

I’m currently in the cycling stage of my 36gallon biocube with 40 pounds of live rock, I came home from work today to see the glass covered in Algae and the sand in yellow any suggestions on what to do since the tank is growing mass algae without any fish in there to produce waste also my light...

Welcome glad to see your going big for your first tank! In my experience with rams they are extremely hard to keep and often times genetically weak when purchased from LFS so make sure to find a very reputable breeder if your going to be purchasing a good amount of them For substrate I would...

Clean up crew really depends on your substrate for example if you have live sand I would highly recommend a cleanup crew because the sand is very fine and needs to be turned over

Will there b any growth of corals because most predator fish will tear that up?

I’m no expert but I recently moved live rock too and the most important thing to remember is that it’s ALIVE so it will constantly need oxygen and saltwater the way I moved mine was I used a 10gal bucket filled it with saltwater and then put an airline in there to oxygen in then I put live rock...

I was recently offered a 37gal bio cube with live rock and filter media so how could I not take it! Like most used tanks it needs some deep cleaning but I’m having some trouble with what the previous owner called “calcium deposits” they are a deep red color and I’ve tried everything including...

I'm confused on what your asking but I would recommend having oxygen into your tank but yes shrimp love moss balls as I often see them all over the moss balls in the local fish stores but what are u talking about with a dome over the top?

Moss balls are only beneficial so no need to worry about compatibility with other fish as far as keeping them healthy goes when u do a water change I would say pick up the moss ball and lightly squeeze it out to get out all the water it collected then put it back at the bottom
