Hello everyone...since today I am the proud owner of an Elegance Coral. I have heard that lately (last 2 years) people have had really bad experience with this coral and everyone suspects it-s because they now take this coral from higher depths and it cannot adapt to the powerful light most of us have.
I have placed my coral shaded with medium alternating water flow-on the sand but still I have light on it.
My light fixture is 4x39Watts (Hagen GLO HO lamps) with ATI bulbs: Aquablue, blue special, blue special, coral plus.
As u can see in the video....is it a good spot for him ? I mean flow/light...
It doesn-t look really good to me...any advice ?
I tested the water:
NO3 = 0-1 (Salifert)
PO4 = 0.00 (Hanna digital tester)
Ca: 428 SALIFERT
MG 1350 salifert
KH: 10 JBL
Temp: 25 Celsius
Salinity 1024
Video + Picture of the coral I just bought
