Coralline algae and Jar reef

[BigRedsReefs10]

I'm running 2 of them on my 10 (personally want a little more flow, but I want to add a couple more sps) and would definitely get 2, 1 will leave you with dead spots.

Ok. So just put one on each side?

Are there any other soft corals you recommend that won't be trying to sting everything all the time?

Zoas, palys, leathers, GSP, to a lesser extent mushrooms.

 

[NatureFish]

Do palys have that venom/poison?

I'd like to know what all the acronyms that have been mentioned on this thread mean....

Also what kind of marine salt should I buy? I'm trying to put together a shipping list. I'll post it later today and you guys can correct me if there's more that I need.

Zoa = zoanthid
Paly = palythoa
Both are quite similar, palys are larger
Gsp = green star polyps

Instant ocean is a good salt mix to use. just go with the regular stuff and not the reef grade.

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Gsp is green star polyps. I personally like Red Sea coral pro, but instant ocean reef crystals is probably most popular.

What do I get for testing salinity?

Doesn't matter IMO. Just get the cheapest one you can find on ebay.

Is there any way I can keep my future Xenia in one spot?

Nope. Just aggressive trimming of it when it spreads.
